I see The Eye!

I remember living through some hurricanes-powerful things. Went through hurricane Andrew when I was very young in 1992,it was the strongest I've gone through a category 5.

This view of Hurricane Felix was taken from the Earth-orbiting International Space Station (ISS) by an Expedition 15 crewmember using a digital still camera equipped with a 28-70 mm lens set at 28 mm focal length on Sept. 3, 2007 at 11:38:29 GMT. The ISS was located at the nadir point of 16.0 degrees north latitude and 84.0 degrees west longitude nearly over the coast of eastern Honduras when this image was taken. The sustained winds were 165 miles per hour with higher gusts making it a category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

This image featuring Hurricane Catarina was taken on March 27th, 2004 by an Expedition 8 crewmember on the International Space Station (ISS). The crew of the ISS acquired this excellent oblique photo of the storm just as it made landfall on the southern Brazilian state of Catarina (the storm has been unofficially dubbed "Hurricane Catarina"). Note the clockwise circulation of this Southern Hemisphere cyclone, the well-defined banding features, and the eyewall of at least a Category 1 system.

This image of Hurricane Wilma was taken at 8:23 a.m. CDT Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2005 by the crew aboard NASA's international space station as the complex flew 222 miles above the storm. At the time, Wilma was the strongest Atlantic hurricane in history, with winds near 175 miles per hour. The storm was located in the Caribbean Sea, 340 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico.

This view of Hurricane Epsilon in the Atlantic Ocean was photographed on Dec. 3, 2005 by one of the crewmembers of Expedition 12 aboard the International Space Station. The orbital outpost was flying at an altitude of 190 nautical miles. Center point coordinates are 34.5 degrees north latitude and 44.4 degrees west longitude.

While not a true hurricane, this image from September 4, 2003 shows a beautifully-formed low-pressure system swirling off the southeastern coast of Greenland, illustrating the maxim that "nature abhors a vacuum." The vacuum in this case was a region of low atmospheric pressure. In order to fill this void, air from a nearby high-pressure system moves in, in this case bringing clouds along for the ride. This huge system swirled over the Denmark Strait in between Greenland and Iceland.
