The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Terra satellite captured Cyclone Nargis in early May 2008. At its most intense point, the Category 4 storm, later simulated by Shen's model, boasted winds of 130 mph before coming ashore in Myanmar on May 2, 2008. Predicting whether or not a storm system will grow into a hurricane is difficult.  But a new supercomputer model has taken a leap forward in this effort.
