Hurricane Fabian
On the afternoon of September 2, 2003, Fabian, a Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, packed sustained winds of 140 mph with higher gusts. The National Hurricane Center expects Fabian to continue on a west-northwest path at 10 mph for the next 24 hours.
The MODIS instrument onboard NASA's Terra spacecraft captured one bird's-eye view of Hurricane Fabian in the Atlantic Ocean. In this image Fabian is located about 190 miles north-northeast of Barbuda in the northern Leeward Islands.
The Sea-viewing Wide-Field-of-view Sensor aboard the Orbview-2 satellite took this most recent image of Fabian.
