"Hurricane Irene is pictured over the Bahamas,...



...as captured by the GOES-13 satellite at 11:45 UTC (7:45 a.m. EDT) on August 24, 2011. Irene battered the Bahamas on Wednesday on a track to the North Carolina coast that forecasters say could threaten the densely populated US Northeast, including New York, starting on Sunday. The hurricane, a major Category 3 storm with winds of 120 miles per hour (195 km per hour), pounded the southeast Bahamian islands with winds, rain and dangerous storm surge."
