Hurricane Florence is at the doorstep of North and South Carolina, and she’s not going away anytime soon. Parts of the Carolinas could see 50 cm to 76 cm, with isolated areas getting 101 cm, over seven days along the coast. As it approached the U.S. on Wednesday, the International Space Station (ISS) recorded some startling footage. Watching the scene unfold from space, German Alexander Gerst, an astronaut on board the ISS, tweeted photos of the enormous storm. He said that the hurricane could only be captured on a super-wide lens, even from 400 kilometres up.
