  • suckaPU, on 09/27/2008, -1/+11george bush's hurricane machine is the *****
  • inactive, on 09/25/2008, -1/+6Well it's certainly beautiful from that view. Probably not as beautiful a few miles south.
  • mediaspree, on 09/27/2008, -2/+6Wait, the earth is curved?
  • weaksnyc, on 08/14/2009, -1/+5Welcome to Digg, Governor Palin.
  • Norris667, on 09/27/2008, -0/+3It looks like its rising out of the atmosphere.
  • hillaryj, on 09/27/2008, -1/+4I'm in Florida right now on vacation, and I was thinking: Florida should make special kinds of Oreos where if you take off one of the cookies and just look at the frosting, it'll be swirled like a hurricane.
    Anyways, that's an amazing shot.
  • AgmLauncher, on 09/27/2008, -0/+3Does not have good englishes either (on opinion)
  • Settra, on 09/27/2008, -1/+3Space has a south?

    A FEW miles?

    I didnt realise the ISS only orbited a few miles above earth..
  • Tanktunker, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2I've been in a few cyclones, which is more or less like a hurricane, and it's not the swirl of clouds that uproots trees, it's the really, really fast winds.
  • leorcastillo, on 09/27/2008, -1/+3You live in a fantasy world my friend...and I love you for it.
  • ChileanGoD, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2Trace a straight line to the south pole maybe?
  • namochan, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2It's orbit, not deep space. Just whip out your compass and go south.
  • gasoline, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1There have been too many "hurricane from ISS" pics lately, it's getting annoying. Yeah, it's nice, but I've seen it before.
  • elnerdo, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Space doesn't have a south, but the Space Station isn't really in 'space' It's in earth orbit, so yeah, it can move south.
  • jspegele, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1that was Ike
  • broncostt, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1stunning.
  • nevpayne, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Meh airbrushed stars/aliens FTL :(
  • AgmLauncher, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Pictures of earth from space kick ass
  • kornolio13, on 09/28/2008, -0/+1a lot of water!
  • warsongs7, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Your mum can run Crysis.
  • psplayer6, on 09/27/2008, -3/+3At first pictures of hurricanes were really cool.

    After the second or third it just a grouping of clouds. We've all seen a hurricane before

    Buried
  • leorcastillo, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1Maelstrom
  • nofate2029, on 09/27/2008, -2/+2Impressive picture. Its hard to imagine how a swirl of clouds can bring such devistation. But then again i've never been thru a hurricane.
  • Tanktunker, on 09/27/2008, -3/+3Space has a sky?
  • Tanktunker, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1How do you define south in space?
  • aenima987, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1It's the world's largest barrel roll.
  • MOJIRA, on 09/27/2008, -2/+1Heh, it's like the Spore home screen.

    Funny how things on different scales can look the same; a galaxy, a hurricane, Paris' vagina.
  • obxjdt, on 09/27/2008, -2/+1too bad we can't see any land in that picture....
  • mediaspree, on 09/27/2008, -2/+1In what respect, crweaks23?
  • secondfiddle, on 09/27/2008, -1/+0I hope Galveston won't get, um never mind.
  • Stinkylicious, on 09/27/2008, -2/+1This image failed to... blow me away.

    hehe...heh...

    ***** buried
  • PortuGish, on 09/27/2008, -2/+0That's a huge *****!
  • Gunsotsu, on 09/27/2008, -3/+1I also love seeing images like these and be reminded that the ISS and NASA in general hasn't done one thing worth a damn for the citizens of this big, blue marble we're all hurtling through space on. Those tax dollars are obviously well spent

    Go on, digg me down, but you know it's true.
  • Tanktunker, on 09/27/2008, -3/+1God damn you :P
  • inactive, on 09/27/2008, -7/+2Man, I would love to go skydiving through that thing from space.
  • otwieracz3d, on 09/27/2008, -5/+0Does not have hurricanes in my country (on luck).
  • becquerel, on 09/27/2008, -12/+0Impressive but, will it run Crysis?
  • inactive, on 09/27/2008, -13/+1How about I tear you a new anus? That's assuming you already have an anus, and don't just regurgitate everything you eat.

    I have anger issues.
