Hurricane Edouard captured from space

THIS isn’t your average view of a hurricane. Some people in a very unusual spot have taken breathtaking photos of Hurricane Edouard in all its might.

CAPTURED in all its powerful might, this is what a hurricane looks like from space.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station spotted the huge storm as Hurricane Edouard tore across the Atlantic at wind speeds of 165km/h.

Edouard is the fourth hurricane of the six-month Atlantic season.

Only a minor hurricane in comparison others in the region, it currently poses no threat to land, the U.S. hurricane centre said.

US weather authorities believe storm activity will be lower than average this year.

Hurricane Edouard gained strength in the Atlantic Monday but remained too far from land to pose a danger, US weather forecasters said.

Edouard pictured as a category two storm, with sustained winds of 165 kilometres per hour.
