Title:
Hurricane Ivan from the Space Station
Explanation:
Ninety percent of the houses on Grenada [ http://en.wikipedia…] were damaged by the destructive force of Hurricane Ivan [ http://en.wikipedia…]. At its peak, Ivan [ http://www.nhc.noaa…] was a Category 5 hurricane [ http://www.nhc.noaa…], the highest power category on the Saffir-Simpson Scale [ http://en.wikipedia…], and created sustained winds [ http://www.youtube.…] in excess of 200 kilometers per hour. Ivan was the largest hurricane to strike the US [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] in 2004, and, so far, the 10th most powerful in recorded history. As it swirled in the Atlantic Ocean [ http://en.wikipedia…], the tremendous eye [ http://www.ohsep.lo…] of Hurricane Ivan was photographed from above [ http://spaceflight.…] by the orbiting International Space Station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]. The name Ivan has now been retired from Atlantic Ocean use by the World Meteorological Organization [ http://www.wmo.ch/].
