The Eye of Ivan
NASA recently released this stunning shot.
NASA writes: "At its peak, Ivan was a Category 5 hurricane, the highest power category on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, and created sustained winds in excess of 200 kilometers per hour. Ivan was the largest hurricane to strike the US in 2004, and, so far, the 10th most powerful in recorded history. As it swirled in the Atlantic Ocean, the tremendous eye of Hurricane Ivan was photographed from above by the orbiting International Space Station."

for some reason NASA is recycling this image from September 15, 2004 - the photo of the day from 4 years ago - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040915.html ; it's a fantastic visual though

My first impression was of a whirlpool in the sky over some skyscrapers.
