Bill filmed

Hurricane Bill is currently doing the rounds in the Atlantic. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s GOES-14 satellite gathered some great footage that has been put together in a youtube video.

It seems that the hurricane has given GOES-14 a chance to test its capabilities since it launched in June this year as GOES-O. Since responsibility for the satellite passed from NASA to NOAA, the name changed to GOES-14.

The video was taken on August 20, and Bill reached a category 4 storm. It has since subsided to a topical storm.
