NASA's Improved TIROS Operational Satellite - 1 (ITOS-1) snapped this infrared photo of Hurricane Celia (circular white mass, lower center) at 4:30 EDT, August 3, 1970, when the storm was about 200 miles East, southeast of Corpus Christi Texas. Other land marks are the Great Lakes (upper center) and the Eastern Seaboard (right, center). Long white mass extending from Canada into the Midwest is the frontal system which passed through the Washington, , area last evening (August 3, 1970).
