Tropical Storm Edouard is the fifth named Atlantic storm of this year’s hurricane season, but so far has done little more than bring some occasionally heavy rains to the Southeast, which had already been experiencing rain and flash flooding for almost a week. In this true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from September 1, 2002, Edouard can be seen over the Atlantic, making its way slowly towards Florida.
