Zeus,
As you already discovered, it is Hurricane Allen circa August 1980. I was working in a grocery store in Houston at the time when they evacuated Galveston in what was then the largest peacetime evacuation in history.

Here is a link to an image taken at the same time as yours:

It is part of the Smithsonian collection. Here is the exhibit link that it is from (scroll down a little):

I'll bet that you can call the National Air and Space Museum in D.C. and they can ID the satellite that took your picture, or tell you if it is a mosaic of several shots.

Hope this points you in the right direction.

Ken
