‘Hurricane Danielle’ – as we passed directly overhead this evening in the central Atlantic. I’m not a tropical storm expert by any means, but Danielle looks very well-organized with a very well-defined eye. The storm looks spectacularly peaceful from this vantage point…but, I can only imagine the tempest below those clouds.  Many thoughts and prayers from space for a favorable path.

Because on this photo you have a high vantage point and a horizon, what all is missing in a strictly two-dimensional map.

Why is it that a hurricane on a map seems so small, but from above the sky, its like never ending?

I don't know why, but I love to see hurricanes from space.
