Photo taken of Hurricane Florence convection with deep eyewall in Atlantic Sea from ISS by astronaut Alexander Gerst: Ever stared down the gaping eye of a category 4 hurricane? It's chilling, even from space ... (There is hope, photos and observations like that can improve preparations for hurricanes like Hurricane Florence.)
