Ingrid

Mexico's Pacific and Gulf coasts were both inundated by deadly tropical rainfall at the same time. Hurricane Manuel dropped extremely heavy rainfall along Mexico's Pacific coast. At least 55 people have been reported killed in Mexico due to flooding and landslides caused by extreme rainfall. Hurricane Ingrid weakened to a tropical storm and came ashore from the Gulf Of Mexico into the state of Tamaulipas near La Pesca, Mexico on Monday September 16,2013.

Mexico's Pacific and Gulf coasts are both being inundated by tropical cyclone rainfall at the same time. Tropical storm Manuel has dropped very heavy rainfall along Mexico's Pacific coast. 21 people have been reported killed in this area due to flooding and landslides caused by extreme rainfall. At the same time hurricane Ingrid weakened to a tropical storm and came ashore from the Gulf Of Mexico into the state of Tamaulipas near La Pesca, Mexico .

The TRMM satellite flew over on September 16, 2013 at 0227 UTC (10:57 PM September 16) when Ingrid was still a hurricane in the Gulf Of Mexico. Data collected by TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) instruments show that rain was falling at a rate of over 100mm/hr (~4 inches) in strong storms near Ingrid's center.

Tropical storm Ingrid in the southern Gulf Of Mexico was strengthening when the TRMM satellite flew over on September 13, 2013 at 2008 UTC (4:08 PM EDT). A band of very strong convective storms north of Ingrid's center was observed by TRMM's Precipitation Radar (PR) instrument to contain rain falling at the rate of over 143 mm/hr (~5.6 inches). Powerful thunderstorms in this area were also found by TRMM PR to reach heights above 16km (~9.9 miles). These "hot towers" are often a sign that a tropical cyclone will intensify.
