Hurricane Isabel, 15th September 2003
Hurricane Isabel in the Caribbean Sea on 15th September 2003. The islands of Hispaniola (lower centre) and the eastern tip of Cuba (lower left) are seen, along with the shallow seas (green) around the Bahamas. The US state of Florida is just out of frame at top left. Isabel was classified as a type 5 hurricane, the strongest, but was downgraded to a type 4 on 16th September. Hurricanes are enormous rotating storm systems in which winds can reach over 240 kilometres per hour. They can cause immense damage if they hit built-up areas, but lose energy quickly once over land. This image was taken by the MODIS instrument on the Terra satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and destructive force of Hurricane Isabel as it churns through the Caribbean Sea on September 15th, 2003. The image showcases the immense size of this type 5 hurricane, with its swirling cloud formations spanning across the frame. The eye of the storm, a calm center surrounded by intense winds, is clearly visible amidst the spiraling clouds. The islands of Hispaniola and Cuba can be seen in the lower part of the photograph, while shallow green seas surrounding the Bahamas add to the visual spectacle. Just out of frame at top left lies Florida, which narrowly escaped Isabel's wrath. Hurricanes like Isabel are meteorological phenomena characterized by extreme wind speeds exceeding 240 kilometers per hour. While they pose significant threats to populated areas when making landfall, their energy dissipates rapidly once over land. This stunning image was captured by MODIS instrument on board Terra satellite - a testament to advancements in earth observation technology that enable us to better understand and forecast severe weather events. It serves as a reminder of nature's raw power and our ongoing efforts to study and mitigate its impact for human safety.
