Dangerous Hurricane Lane approaches Hawaii

Cameras on the International Space Station captured views of Hurricane Lane churning in the Pacific Ocean Aug. 22 as it flew 254 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands at 12:47 p.m. EDT. At the time of the station’s pass, Lane was a major hurricane packing winds of 155 miles an hour moving west-northwest on a track that would bring the storm close to or over the islands between Wednesday and Saturday. Hurricane warnings and watches were posted by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu for the entire island chain.
