Cameras on the International Space Station captured remarkable footage of [Hurricane Maria as a Category 5 hurricane](http://time.com/4947190/hurricane-maria-category-5/) on Tuesday.

NASA posted a video from the ISS as the station overflew the Caribbean, giving those aboard a perfect view of the monstrous storm. In the video, you can see Hurricane Maria’s eye and a massive storm of clouds [covering much of the Caribbean. ](http://time.com/4946676/hurricane-maria-spaghetti-plots-models/)

The ISS video was posted just before [Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico early Wednesday morning](http://time.com/4949664/hurricane-maria-yabucoa-puerto-rico-map/). By then it had been downgraded to a Category 4 hurricane, though the National Weather Service says it might strengthen again.

NASA also [streams live footage from the International Space Station](https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/) on its website, meaning it’s possible to see more video of the hurricane as it passes.
