Can Anybody Name This Storm?
Fri Aug 27 2004 06:56 PM

I've had this picture for about 15 years and am trying to date it and get some history on the photo itself. I got it from a friend of a friend who got it from a corporate board room. He said the picture is from the early to mid 60's and was one of the first whole earth photos from space. Its 42x42" and super sharp, even if it doesn't look like it in the photo.

The huge storm in the gulf and the one in the eastern Pacific should be able to date it, but I haven't been able to find a way to positively identify either. I find historical satellite imagery is hard to search on the web, and even harder if it was from the 60's.

Looking at the tracks of storms I'm guessing Hilda of 64' or Beullah of 67'. Some say Camille, but from what I was told it was in Martin's board room in 69'. Could this be from Tiros 8 or 9? I'm more interested in knowing the satellite than the storm's name.
