#selfie as I attend the @redcrossny @americanredcross 2018 Disaster Ready Summit learning about how to be an even more-skilled volunteer and leader than I was for #HurricaneHarvey. Since it’s #yomhaatzmaut, I thought I’d rep the amazing @magen_david_adom Red Shield of David (inside @icrc Red Crystal) hat given to me by some amazing #Israelis I met when they came 7500 miles to our aid in Texas last summer (plus others went to #Florida and #PuertoRico too). Oh, and @adi_anhang, the boy, is an EMT there too. And what else is new, I’m still #trans! And quite proud that I can be open about it in the #RedCross, in #NYC, and in #Israel too! #Israelat70 #celebrate70 #israel70 #happybirthdayisrael #transisbeautiful #girlslikeus #transinaction #arc #mda @mdaisrael @magen_david_adom #intersectionality (at American Red Cross in Greater New York)

All Eyes on Harvey

Our Earth-observing satellites, along with the cameras and crew of the International Space Station, are keeping a watchful eye over Hurricane Harvey as it churns in the Gulf of Mexico. When Hurricane Harvey blows ashore over coastal Texas on Friday night, it will likely be the first major hurricane to make landfall in the United States since 2005.

Above is a view of Harvey from NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured on Aug. 25 at 10:07 a.m. EDT (1407 UTC) clearly showing the storm’s eye as Harvey nears landfall in the southeastern coast of Texas. As Hurricane Harvey continued to strengthen, we analyzed the storm’s rainfall, cloud heights and cloud top temperatures. 

Above, the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) core observatory satellite flew almost directly above intensifying Hurricane Harvey on August 24, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 UTC) and we used the Microwave Imager instrument to peer through dense storm clouds to reveal the location of intense rainfall bands near the center of the hurricane. 

And from the International Space Station, cameras were pointed towards Harvey as the orbiting laboratory passed overhead 250 miles above the Earth. The video above includes views from the space station recorded on August 24, 2017 at 6:15 p.m. Eastern Time.

The National Hurricane Center expects Harvey to be a category 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale—with winds higher than 111 miles (179 kilometers) per hour—when it makes landfall. It will likely produce a storm surge of 6 to 12 feet (2 to 4 meters) and drop between 15 and 25 inches (38 and 63 centimeters) of rain in some areas—enough to produce life-threatening flash floods.

Animals rescued in the aftermath of Harvey

Hurricane Harvey’s historic torrential rains left thousands of people stranded in the Houston area today while rescuers — public officials, as well as neighbors and good Samaritans— took to the air and water in an attempt to pluck them to safety.

An estimated 1,500 to 2,000 water rescues have taken place in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, as workers continue to locate survivors of the deadly storm, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Facing rising sea levels and a never-ending torrent of rain, many Texans have taken to carrying their pets to safety. Here’s a look at some of four legged friends rescued during Hurricane Harvey.
