Hurricane Matthew blasted through the Bahamas Thursday on its way from Haiti to Florida, toppling trees, ripping off rooftops and bringing down power lines. Authorities in the capital Nassau shut down power as 100-mile-per-hour winds ripped through the city.
About 250 miles above the storm, at the International Space Station, however, the view was somewhat more sedate.

Further satellite animation footage posted to YouTube Thursday showed Matthew making landfall in western Haiti on Tuesday before moving through the Bahamas Thursday.
The National Hurricane Center said Thursday afternoon that Matthew is "likely to produce devastating impacts from storm surge, extreme winds, and heavy rains in the northwestern Bahamas today, and along extensive portions of the east coast of Florida tonight."
