I was sent that a couple days ago and thought I'd post it. Slightly amazing.

About the best hurricane-from-space photos ever.

 

[Maggie Kahman]

Wow. That is amazing! Ike was big, but that really shows you HOW big. That thing was MASSIVE!

Picture 25 of Hurricane Emily was my desktop wallpaper for over a year. Easily my favourite hurricane shot ever. Pretty unique to get the hurricane eye and the moon in the same shot!

 

[Kevin Rider]

Wow! Those pictures are amazing. I think I just found my new desktop wallpaper!

That webpage is going in my favorites.

Thanks Mike.

 

[Jeff Richardson]

Amazing photos! I'd give anything to be able to watch a hurricane from the ISS.

 

[Danny Neal]

Very interesting indeed. I wonder if they have a thunderstorm/supercell archive similar to this one.

 

[Greg Blumberg]

That's amazing. If you look carefully you can see little eddies some of the clouds in the eye on picture 16. I'm not quite sure how those happen entirely, but it's still cool to see. I'll definitely be sharing this with some friends.

A chaser friend sent me this one today, same site, but from Ike's destruction.

Wow those pictures are simply amazing. Thanks for sharing the links, Mike. Those images really do speak louder than words.

Those graveyard pics are pretty scary looking.

Boy, those pictures can really bring you back to Earth. As much as we all get excited about extreme weather events, it's those sort of pictures that really remind you of mother nature's brutal force.

Thanks for the links Mike.

I aways feel so sorry for the animals left behind. I hope someone is looking out for them. When I saw the first set of photos, I thought, how beautiful, but the second set made me think, how horrible! Mixed emotions, I guess. Seeing those caskets that came to the surface was sobering.

I hate to say this, Mike, but when I saw the title of this thread, I half expected to see your Nebraska tornado photos labeled as Ike. So many emails came with your images attached to titles like 'Amazing Katrina Photos'...
