(Mike) Fincke as Hurricane Ivan approached landfall on the central Gulf coast Wednesday afternoon (22:02:35 GMT, Sept. 15). At the time, sustained winds in the eye wall were reported at about 135 mph as the storm approached the Alabama coast. Fincke, the NASA ISS Science Officer, is nearing the end of a six-month stay on the orbiting complex with Commander Gennady Padalka. This photo was taken from an altitude of about 230 miles.
