More Hurricane Dean video - the view from space
August 21, 2007
It's silent and a little slow, but gawp in amazement at this raw NASA footage on Youtube.
This gives you some perspective on the awesome size of Hurricane Dean. Figures in the media put it at 75,000 square miles - the size of South Dakota.
Mercifully the storm hasn't hit quite as hard as predicted. After landfall it dropped to category three, then weakened to two according to the BBC.
Once again we've been posting key stories from the media on a Hurricane Dean update page.
If you're following the storm's progress there's also an interactive tracker at Weather.com
