As Atlantic hurricane season begins, we offer you a montage of major ones that made landfall in the United States over the past five years. This imagery—captured by @NOAA’s #GOESEast 🛰️—reminds us that our natural world offers as much danger as it does beauty. Stay safe and informed this hurricane season!
