Hurricane Florence is intensifying at an astonishing pace as it takes aim at the East Coast of the United States — and astronaut Ricky Arnold got an incredible view.

The details: Arnold, currently on board the International Space Station, snapped pictures of Florence this morning, as Tropical Storms Isaac and Helene also soon came into his view.
