<br /><br />Dorian is so massive that it can be seen clearly from the International Space Station (ISS).<br /><br /><strong>Why it’s a big deal<br /></strong><br />Lightning within the eye, or inner core, of a hurricane isn’t uncommon — but it’s not supposed to strike so often. The frequent lightning strikes are an indicator of the tropical storm deepening in intensity, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (<a href="https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/G9.html">NOAA</a>).<br /><br />

<br />The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hurricanes/archives/2006/hurricane_lightning.html">NASA</a>) backs the theory with multiple observations. Intense lightning activity around a hurricane’s eye — the eyewall — is an indicator of storm rearing to grow.<br /><br />

<br /><strong>Bahamas under distress for over 24 hours<br /></strong><br />Dorian was recently downgraded from a Category 5 to a Category 4. But before it started to simmer down, the hurricane caused ‘<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-dorian-flights-waivers-cancellations-2019-8?r=US&amp;IR=T">unprecedented</a>’ damage to the Bahamas, according to the country’s Prime Minister.<br /><br />The Bahamas were blasted by Dorian for over 24 hours with no respite in sight. The hurricane hasn’t budged from its position for <a href="https://twitter.com/MsKateLyons/status/1168713970535948288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">10 hours</a>.<br /><br />
