September, 2018
Astronauts
on the International Space Station have tweeted a Hurricane Warning
today, possibly a historic first in the annals of weather.
They
sent photos of Hurricane Florence back down to earth calling the
storm a "no-kidding nightmare" implicitly warning for folks
to EVACUATE:
Watch out, America! #HurricaneFlorence is so enormous, we could only capture her with a super wide-angle lens from the @Space_Station, 400 km directly above the eye. Get prepared on the East Coast, this is a no-kidding nightmare coming for you. #Horizons

83
FOOT WAVES
The
National Hurricane Center says they have measured waves of 83 FEET in
the northeast quadrant of Hurricane Florence.
Wave heights to 83 ft were measured early this morning under the NE quadrant of Hurricane Florence. These enormous waves are produced by being trapped along with very strong winds moving in the same direction the storm's motion. #HurricaneFlorence hurricanes.gov/marine
If
you or anyone you know is anywhere within TEN miles of the coast
where this storm is heading, PLEASE get them to evacuate. No one and
nothing can survive being hit by waves of this size or the 140 mile
per hour winds driving them.
