[:ja]国際宇宙ステーションISSから撮影した、8月末にハワイを襲ったハリケーン「レーン」です。大型ハリケーン「レーン」は、一時は最大級のカテゴリー5まで発達しましたが、ハワイ諸島接近にともない徐々に勢力を弱め、8月24日の時点でカテゴリー1となりました。宇宙から見るとその大きさがよくわかります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.583: Hurricane Lane🇺🇸
Astronaut Ricky Arnold captured from ISS Hurricane Lane which assaulted Hawaii in August.
Hurricane Lane was the wettest tropical cyclone on record in Hawaii, with rainfall accumulations of 1,321mm in Mountain View. The most intense hurricane in the Central Pacific since Ioke in 2006 and the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane since Patricia in 2015, Lane was the twelfth named storm, sixth hurricane, and fourth major hurricane of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season. As Lane approached the Hawaiian Islands, it began to weaken as vertical wind shear once again increased. Beginning on Aug. 23, Lane brought heavy rains to Hawaii County, which caused flash flooding and mudslides.
