ISS009-E-18123 (21:08:33 GMT, 12 August 2004) --- This panoramic view of Hurricane Charley was taken by the Expedition 9 crew of the International Space Station just after 5PM (EDT), August 12, 2004. The Category Two Hurricane was in the northwest Caribbean Sea, 140 miles south-southeast of Havana, Cuba moving north-northwest at 18mph packing winds of 105mph. In this view looking southeast, the newly formed eye of the storm is just visible and the west coast of Florida from Naples to Tampa Bay may be seen on the right.
