Earth observation taken by the Expedition 28 crew
ISS028-E-028782 (22 Aug. 2011) --- This panoramic view of recently-formed Hurricane Irene was acquired by the crew of the International Space Station early Monday afternoon from a point over the coastal waters of Venezuela. At the time Irene was packing winds of 80mph and was just north of the Mona Passage between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Although no eye was visible at this time, the storm was strengthening and exhibited the size and structure of a classic ?Cape Verde? hurricane as it tracked west-northwestward towards the southern Bahamas.
