Powerful Hurricane Jose is shown nearing the Eastern US in September 2017.

Among the devestating hurricanes in 2017 was Hurricane Jose. Despite the beauty astronauts were able to capture in this image, the storm itself was a powerful force that posed a threat to many communities in the Atlantic Ocean.
While the storm moved away from the Gulf of Mexico and the islands in the area it proceeded to cause heavy storms and damage along the eastern coast of the US.
