Isaac takes the coast by storm (at night!)
This amazing image of Tropical Storm Isaac was captured just after midnight on Tuesday, Aug. 28, by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi-NPP satellite.

I’ve added labels for some of the more visible metropolitan areas, including Asheville.
