Milton was a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, before weakening as it bombarded southwest Florida this week. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) captured some powerful satellite images of the storm, showing its breadth and strength.
Even taken from the cupola window from the International Space Station, we can see the sheer size of the storm, as it brewed in the Gulf of Mexico. The massive storm even created dozens of tornadoes, which added to the chaos of the event.
Sadly, climate change is making the oceans warmer, which in turn is making these storms larger, more frequent, and more dangerous.
