Video: Hurricane Irene As Seen From the International Space Station

McKinney & Associates hopes everyone on the East Coast stays safe this weekend, and protected from any serious damage from the impending Hurricane Irene. Between the earthquake this week, and now this possible category 3 hurricane on its way, mother nature is sure reminding us just how powerful and unruly she can be.

Just in from the ISS:

From 230 miles above the Earth, cameras on the International Space Station captured new views of powerful Hurricane Irene as it churned over the Bahamas on August 26, 2011. Irene is moving to the northwest as a Category 3 hurricane, packing winds of 120 miles an hour. Irene is expected to strengthen to a Category 4 storm as it heads toward the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Eastern Seaboard and the middle Atlantic and New England states.
