This 23-hour radar loop shows Category 5 Hurricane Maria approaching Puerto Rico on September 19-20, 2017. It made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane ~6am on the 20th, but right around that time, the winds in the outer eyewall obliterated the radar and the loop ends. Maria devasted the entire island

It flies by on that loop, but here's the final frame... the demise of the radar. The radar is located at that little black dot south of San Juan, and the outer eyewall had just reached it.

Most amazing experience of my life. Comerio, PR. Most horrific experience for most.
