Space Station Views Tropical Storm Irene

[ Silence ] >> Mike: Houston, station, Mike on two. Is that, is that Irene off our port side? >> [beep] That's affirmative. [ Pause ] [ Beep ] >> Mike: OK. Well, we've got a good view here. We know she's, she's on land, and wrecking havoc all the way up into Massachusetts now. [ Pause ] >> [beep] Houston copies. [ Pause ] [ Beep ] >> Mike: And uh, not as well organized anymore. There's still those, some of those circular patterns. You can see the bands that are stretching way up north, but it's no longer a, a round kind of a dome shape that we've seen before, but a lot of really solid dense clouds. I know, you know, been hearing that there's a lot of flooding, actually a lot of the more serious damage maybe inland with the flooding and the rivers overflowing and stuff rather than coastal communities. [ Pause ] [ Beep ] >> Mike: The gulf back south of here is noticeably muddy. A lot of mud, a lot of runoff from the, all of the rains as the storm. I see on the North Carolina coast down south, and, you know, the gulf, just a lot of, a lot of water, a lot of mud that you can see there all, all the way south. [ Pause ] [ Beep ] >> Houston copies. Thanks for the observations, Mike. [ Pause ] [ Beep ]
