NASA satellite data recorded wind speeds in Hurricanes Trudy and Simon, alongside a prescribed fire observed in Arizona.
According to NASA satellite data sourced from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Hurricane Trudy recorded sustained winds of 85 knots on October 16, 2026. The storm is being monitored from space through NASA's EONET network, which continuously tracks natural events and extreme weather across the globe.
At the same time, NASA satellites are monitoring an additional storm, Hurricane Simon. According to JTWC data recorded on October 16, 2026, at 00:00 UTC, the storm's maximum wind speed reached 40 knots, and it remains listed as an active event in the agency's tracking systems.
In Coconino County, Arizona, NASA systems registered a prescribed fire named Newman Piles RX. According to IRWIN data reported through NASA's satellite network on October 14, 2026, the total area observed in this event covered 751 acres.
