Cool Footage of Hurricane Isaac From International Space Station

On August 28, a camera on board the International Space Station captured footage of Hurricane Isaac from 253 miles above Earth. The video was taken as the powerful storm swirled towards the southeast coast of Louisiana.

Isaac made landfall on Tuesday evening, and has since been downgraded to a tropical storm.
