| Hurricane Irene- read the sign! |
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. For more info on Hurricane Irene, go to the NASA Hurricane page:

RAINS- The outer bands of Hurricane Irene's bands brought rains in the Washington, DC area around 11am, when Irene's center was some 380 miles to the south-southeast. Irene is a huge storm, about 1/3rd the size of the U.S. East coast.
