    On August 8, 2015, Typhoon Soudelor brought fierce winds and torrential rainfall to the east coast of China. In the Fujian province, it destroyed more than 6,900 homes and damaged 112,060 hectares (276,910 acres) of crops. These images of the cyclone were captured by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (left) and by NASA’s Aqua satellite (right). - Click on the image to the left to see both images
