Re: Can Anybody Name This Storm?

I can tell you that it is not Camille, as there was no tropical cyclone in the East Pacific in 1969 at the same time as Camille.

The first satellite images of the Earth from outer space were taken around 1960 (1961 or 1962, I believe), but were very grainy. I'd be willing to venture a guess to say that the image wasn't one of the first of the Earth from outer space - those were more often television camera images as opposed to the new visible/infrared sounders over the past few decades - and instead was taken sometime later. But, that's just my opinion.
