On Friday morning, Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Carolina, bringing extreme winds, surging seas, and huge amounts of rain to the coast.
While forecasters have been keeping a close eye on the storm from the ground, the International Space Station watched the slow-moving hurricane make landfall from above.
The video, taken with a high-definition camera outside the International Space Station, shows a “stark and sobering view” of the Category 4 storm as it moves in a west-northwesterly direction across the Atlantic.
