Hurricane Sandy Is Even More Impressive From SpaceThis spectacular image was taken by NOAA's GOES-13 satellite today at 6:02 a.m. EDT. According to the National Hurricane Center, at 11 a.m. EDT, Sandy was centered halfway between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, moving west at 10 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour.
Though the storm has been downgraded from a hurricane, and the winds have slowed, much of the damage from Sandy is expected to come from the length of time the storm will affect the area.
