Holy Hanna!
It is impossible to get much sense of perspective. That must be close to 100 miles in that picture.

More perspective here of another hurricane — Floyd:
Wow I wonder whats its like to look down and see that HUGEUNGOUS storm swirling around – must be pretty badass!
Nice. Are there any photos or footage of Dean from the 53rd Weather Recon (aka the “hurricane hunters”), NOAA’s hurricane hunters?
oops, that should be “OR NOAA’s hurricane hunters”. They’re two separate entities, the first being from the USAF.
I’m looking for better photos, but I ran across this — think satellite imagery is lowres? Ha!
