- From 230 miles above the Earth, cameras on the International Space Station captured new views of powerful Hurricane Irene as it churned over the Bahamas at 3:10 p.m. EDT on August 24, 2011. Irene is moving to the northwest as a Category 3 hurricane, packing winds of 120 miles an hour. Irene is expected to strengthen to a Category 4 storm as it heads toward the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Eastern Seaboard and the middle Atlantic and New England states.
Awesome to see the magnitude of it from space.
@srmarquinho Keep in mind that the camera objective is maybe a short focal lenght, to afford a wide view, so the hurricane wouldn't be half-planet big, as it appears on the video. It's a very big phenomena, anyway...
the view looks so pretty from up there.
@gotrixde the water is the most dangerous ... wind will break window trees but water is the one that you have to worrie about i hope your not on a first floor ...
YIPPEEE~~ C'MON IRENE!!!!
Wow! ...boy am I glad I wasn´t anywhere near by that monster....
My heart goes out to the people that hurricane is gonna hit.

@snowbal1776 We do understand it, don't we? Science can precisely describe it. We cannot control it, though...
