Hurricane Idalia over Florida | International Space Station

External cameras on the International Space Station captured views of Hurricane Idalia at 10:35 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023, as the station flew 260 miles overhead. Idalia made landfall just before 8 a.m. near Keaton Beach, Florida, along the state’s Big Bend region as a Category 3 storm packing winds of 125 miles an hour. Idalia had peaked to a Category 4 storm with 130 mile per hour winds prior to landfall. The system is moving to the north-northeast at 18 miles an hour, heading for the southeast United States and then out over the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Hurricane Center.
