Hurricane Arthur has made landfall on the eastern coast of America, bringing high winds, powerful tidal surges and rain to inhabitants on the 4th of July, an American national holiday known as Independence Day.

260 miles above the Earth, and safe from Arthurs reach, is the Expedition 40 crew who have been tracking, monitoring and photographing the hurricane.
