Hurricane Milton is a beast, and projected to make landfall as a Category 5 storm. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Florida and Milton’s path.

For some perspective, here’s what Milton looks like from outer space:

We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.

Timelapse coming in a separate post.

Okay, that was well played.

My God. Would you look at those fully functional thrusters on the Dragon? @Boeing, check that out!

Nice work, @SpaceX

Seriously though, pray for Florida.

That’s some wicked shade at Boeing.

But yes, praying.

This looks like the storm in the Day After Tomorrow.

Technology is incredible, no?

The age of information we live in is truly remarkable—Matthew’s real-time experience from space, sharing a vantage point most of us could only dream of, while also capturing one of the most destructive natural events on Earth. Awe-inspiring and sobering at once. https://t.co/xDPEWVvVgt
