International Space Station Captures Stunning View of Hurricane Matthew

Description

Dramatic time-lapse footage filmed from the International Space Station on Monday and brought courtesy of NASA TV captured the swirling arms and ominous eye of Hurricane Matthew, the Atlantic Ocean's most powerful tropical storm in almost a decade as it spun towards Haiti and Jamaica. The storm covered a significant part of the camera frame - clouds stretched as far as the eye could see. The Category 4 Hurricane made landfall on Haiti's Tiburon Peninsula early on Tuesday with wind speeds of up to 145 miles per hour. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere and endured a devastating earthquake just 7 years ago.
