A closer view of the GOES-14 Visible (0.63 \u00b5m) images (below; <\/strong>also available as a large 85 Mbyte animated GIF<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> revealed the rapid motion of low-altitude clouds when gaps in the high-altitude clouds were present. Very strong winds were caused by the strong pressure gradient, with gusts as high as 72 mph<\/strong><\/a>, and a large Royal Caribbean cruise ship experienced some damage due to the winds (media report 1<\/strong><\/a> | media report 2<\/strong><\/a>). The corresponding GOES-14 Water Vapor (6.5 \u00b5m) images, which also extend further in time after dark, are available here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
