- This image of Hurricane Wilma was taken from an altitude of 222 miles, Oct. 19, 2005 by the crew aboard the International Space Station as the complex flew above the storm. At the time, Wilma was the strongest Atlantic hurricane in history, with winds near 175 miles per hour. The storm was located in the Caribbean Sea, 340 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico.
