Footage from the InternationalSpaceStation offers an indication of the magnitude of HurricaneIan, a Category 2 storm that's approaching Florida.
Hurricane Ian is barreling its way toward Florida, with the authorities warning that the Category 2 storm could cause widespread and serious damage to communities caught in its path.
#HurricaneIan is seen about 260 miles below the space station as the storm was gaining strength south of Cuba and moving toward Florida at around 3pm ET on Monday, Sept 26, 2022. pic.twitter.com/GNef1ptraA Hurricane Ian’s astonishing size and strength has led forecasters to suggest it could cause some serious damage when it reaches Florida on Wednesday, with those in its path advised to take appropriate action to stay safe.
It’s not the first time that the space station has beamed back extraordinary images of extreme weather systems battering Earth far below.
