Space Station Cameras Capture Views of Hurricane Irene From Orbit August 2011

Aboard the International Space Station, an Expedition 28 crew member captured views of intensifying Hurricane Irene from an altitude of 225 miles at 3:33 p.m. EDT on Aug. 22, 2011, as the tropical system passed to the north of Hispaniola. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting a track that would take Irene near to or east of the Florida peninsula as a major hurricane on Friday with a possible landfall along the southeastern United States on Saturday.

A GOES-13 animation from Aug. 19, 2011, through Aug. 22, 2011, (1545 UTC/11: 45 a.m. EDT) shows the progression of Tropical Storm Harvey through the western Caribbean Sea and the birth of Hurricane Irene. Over the weekend, Harvey made landfall in Belize and is moving into Mexico today, Aug. 22, 2011. Farther east, System 99L developed into Hurricane Irene on August 20. Irene moved over Puerto Rico and is now moving west-northwest toward the southeastern Bahamas today

@FEARMEUFOOL

sorry it took me so long to answer back...our power was out for a while. Well i didn't get any footage cause the damn camera's battery went dead (my wife forgot to charge the damn thing) BUT it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be (where i was) so you didn't really miss anything from me.
