Prior to being upgraded to a hurricane, Laura was spotted from the International Space Station, showing how wide the storm is. The external cameras on the orbiting space research laboratory captured the storm as it was making landfall in Cuba on Aug.23. The cameras captured the images from approximately 250 miles away, ABC 13 reported. Since then, Laura, which is now a Category 3 storm, has been moving across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, prompting hurricane and storm surge warnings. The storm is already responsible for the deaths of at least 11 people in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where it knocked out power and caused flooding in the two nations that share the island of Hispaniola.
