Cat 5 Supertyphoon Vongfong From Space: "I've Seen Many From Here, But None Like This"

?imgmax=800

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman tweeted an image of Super Typhoon Vongfong in the western Pacific Ocean from the International Space Station on Thursday commenting, "I've seen many from here, but none like this."

The most powerful storm of 2014 continues to swirl towards Japan with maximum winds of 165 mph and is expected to make landfall Monday night.
