International Space Station Captures Footage Of 3 Hurricanes Straight From Space [Video]

International Space Station captured a footage of three different hurricanes on Tuesday. The stunning videos were the twin hurricanes Madeline and Lester in the Pacific Ocean and Gaston in the Atlantic Ocean.

Hurricanes are potentially devastating, yet seeing them from space displays their striking glory. Madeline heads to Hawaii with 90 miles per hour, while Lester hits at 130 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center. On the other hand, hurricane Gaston is making its way towards the U.K. with winds of up to 120 miles per hour, according to Digital Trends.

Forecaster Birchard of NOAA's Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) stated that after a period of rapid intensification that ended early Tuesday (August 30), Madeline has been rapidly weakening since Tuesday afternoon, primarily due to increased vertical wind shear. He further said that the latest satellite images show that the cyclone's structure has degraded significantly, with the center estimated to be on the southwest side of the cold cloud tops.

According to NASA, hurricane Madeline could produce total rain accumulations of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated maximum amounts near 15 inches, across Hawaii County. In the islands of Maui County, total rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches, with isolated maximum amounts up to 4 inches. This may lead to perilous flash floods and mudslides.

Hurricane is a kind of storm known as the tropical cyclone. It has a maximum sustained wind of 74 miles per hour. It has a scale of 1 to 5 rating or category, which is based on a hurricane's maximum sustained winds. The greater the category, the more it is dangerous and could damage. Hurricanes originate in the Atlantic basin that includes the Caribbean Sea, the eastern Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the central North Pacific Ocean.
