The astronauts aboard shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station, flying not far apart from each other, have gotten some incredible images of an impressive looking Category 4 Hurricane Dean. They'll get another look on the next orbit.
Meanwhile, the survey of the orbiter's heat-shielding continues. The orbiter boom sensor system is now being used to take a close up look at the panels at the front edge of Endeavour's left wing. There's a little over an hour left in the inspection. Thus far, no serious obvious issues to report based on the televised images.
