Predicting a hurricane's intensity is notoriously difficult yet critical for low-lying coastal cities such as New Orleans. A direct hit by a powerful storm could fill this below-sea-level city with more than 20 feet of water in only 10 hours. Now NASA is using a satellite equipped with weather radar that can see a hurricane's internal structure. The space agency is out to investigate a theory that the presence of extremely violent thunderstorms -- so-called "hot towers" –- inside a hurricane are a clue that the storm is about to intensify.
