It must be Big Thing Chief: The Stolen Wifea strange kind of feeling to be up in space and looking down at a hurricane swirling far below.
While astronauts on the International Space Station obviously aren't in any danger from hurricanes on our planet, they're inexorably affected by them, with family and friends possibly in the path of the raging storm.
Yet, it's hard not to marvel at the beauty of a hurricane from above.

The photo reveals Hurricane Irma on the horizon, next to what appears to be Cuba.

Irma's path through the Caribbean has wreaked havoc on a part of the world pointed to by many astronauts as one of the most captivating to look at from above.
Through the years, Space Station residents like Scott Kelly, have said that the Caribbean is their favorite place to photograph from orbit because of its aquamarine waters and white sands.
Some of those islands look very different from the ground now, however. Antigua and St. Martin were both shown directly in Irma's eye when the extreme storm made landfall there on Wednesday, and the island of Barbuda, in the northern Leeward Islands, was devastated by the storm.

Irma is now spinning toward Florida for what could be a disastrous landfall for the state.
If the storm impacts NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, about 45 minutes from Orlando, it will be the second time a NASA center has been affected by a hurricane in two weeks.
Hurricane Harvey's extreme flooding forced Johnson Space Center in Houston to close to all but essential personnel, many of whom were responsible for keeping astronauts like Bresnik on the Space Station safe and healthy even as their homes and families were facing flooding and high winds.
