WOW! What a magnificant shot. It is from the space station.

no I didn't take it. 8*)
It is an old hurricane(2005 I believe)
There is not much of anything on tv except hurricane news.
The media is in overkill mode again.
"certain death if you don't get out of Galveston!!"
Heck they are predicting 70 m.p.h. winds and 8-15" of rain tomorrow.
Last hurricane that came thru yielded 1inch and 20 m.p.h. winds after the same warning!
I guess better safe than sorry, but I heard more people got killed in traffic accidents evacuating Rita
than were killed directly by the weather.

Anyway,looking for hurricane pics I came across this on the space shuttle photography site.
