The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this natural-color image of Hurricane Gonzalo at 11:15 a.m. Atlantic Daylight Time (1515 Universal Time) on October 17, 2014. At the time, the category 3 hurricane had sustained winds of 110 knots (125 miles or 205 kilometers per hour) and a central pressure of 947 millibars.

In the image, Bermuda is hidden under clouds, but the coast of North Carolina is visible in the far upper left.
