from space. The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation
Analysis (MPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center monitors rainfall
over the global tropics. MPA rainfall totals for May 7-14, 2004 show peak
rainfall amounts of up to 10 to 12 inches (dark red areas) across much of
the Texas coast and parts of Louisiana. Moderate amounts on the order of 3
to 6 inches (green areas) cover much of Louisiana and much of central and
southern Texas."
