This remarkable satellite image shows Hurricane Florence is one of just nine potentially dangerous storms currently circling around the world.
The image circles some of the points where the most extreme weather is set to batter the world this week, giving a word of warning about the dangers they pose.
Jamaica Weather posted the photograph online, saying: ‘This going to be a crazy end to the week! Take a look across the Tropics.’
Each storm is clearly highlighted on the map and identified with a name, showing that Hurricane Florence is not the only storm threatening to ravage civilians.
In the image, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Isaac can be seen circling the Atlantic Ocean while Storm 95L is on a collision course for the Caribbean.
Hurricane Olivia is heading towards Hawaii as Tropical Storm Paul is approaching the west coast of Mexico.
Storm 91W, Typhoon Mangkhut and Storm 27W appear to be heading towards South East Asia as they line up in the Western Pacific.
One million residents have been told to evacuate their homes as Hurricane Florence approaches North and South Carolina.
Meteorologists have given Hurricane Florence, which is now heading towards the US, a category four level strength, meaning the storm could cause major structural damage costing millions.
Its winds could approach Category 5 strength, which means winds of 157 mph or higher.
Officials warned there was a chance of ‘life-threatening inundation from rising water’ as the hurricane is due to hit land on Friday.
