INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IMAGE OF HURRICANE ISABEL, 2003-09-13 (photo)

This view of Hurricane Isabel was taken by one of the Expedition 7  crewmembers onboard the International Space Station (ISS), September  13, 2003. At the time this photo was taken, Isabel had reformed to a  Category 5 storm, packing winds of 160 miles per hour. Isabel weakened  on September 16 but thousands of people on the North Carolina coast  were urged to evacuate their homes as the storm threatened a large  swath of the heavily populated U.S. eastern seaboard. The hurricane was  still hundreds of miles out in the Atlantic Ocean but moving steadily  on a path that would bring it ashore on Thursday on North Carolina's  fragile Outer Banks, then north through Virginia.
