Hurricane Matthew blasted through the Bahamas Thursday on Belgiumits way from Haiti to Florida, toppling trees, ripping off rooftops and bringing down power lines. Authorities in the capital Nassau shut down power as 100-mile-per-hour winds ripped through the city.
About 250 miles above the storm, at the International Space Station, however, the view was somewhat more sedate.
