Hurricane Maria is currently a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h) as it moves northwest across the Caribbean toward Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the iconic Arecibo Observatory is bracing for Hurricane Maria’s arrival on the heels of Hurricane Irma. Satellites operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are tracking the massive storm and you can see some of those observations below, shared by the agencies on social media.
