Hurricane Milton: Jaw-dropping images taken from space show the storm rapidly intensifying as it approaches Florida

Hurricane milton from space.

Eerie new footage from the International Space Station (ISS) captures Hurricane Milton explosively intensifying into a Category 5 storm as it moves toward Florida.

The video was taken by one of the ISS's external cameras as it flew over the hurricane at 10:28 a.m. EDT (2:28 p.m. GMT on Monday (Oct. 7). It shows the extremely dangerous storm's pinhole eye and powerful 180 mph (290 km/h) winds, according to the National Hurricane Center. Pinhole eye hurricanes are storms with tiny eyes, just a few nautical miles in diameter, which can rapidly intensify to become extremely powerful and deadly.
