International Space Station Footage of Hurricane Patricia

Outside the International Space Station, cameras captured dramatic views
of Hurricane Patricia at 12:15 p.m. EDT on October 23, 2015 as the
mammoth system moved north at about 10 mph, heading for a potentially
catastrophic landfall along the southwest coast of Mexico sometime
during the day, according to the National Hurricane Center. 

 Packing winds of 200 miles per hour, Patricia is the strongest in recorded
history in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The National Hurricane Center
says that once Patricia crosses the Mexican coast it should weaken
quickly and dissipate Oct. 24 due to upper level winds and mountainous
terrain, but likely will introduce copious amounts of rainfall to the
Texas coast through the weekend.
