Ever since Hurricane Milton made landfall yesterday in Florida, countless folks have taken to social media to share footage of the storm. Many of these videos and photos have showcased the immense power of this destructive storm. Each one provides us with a new point of view. That said, none are quite like the view of Hurricane Milton from space. Yes, that’s right, from space. Matthew Dominick has been serving as commander of a NASA crew since March 3, 2024. As a flight engineer, he’s getting the chance to conduct all sorts of science experiments at the International Space Station. Lucky for us, he has also been documenting incredible moments, too, like the total solar eclipse. Now, he’s sharing the stunning views he got to witness of Hurricane Milton.

This footage truly showcases the magnitude of this massive storm. At this point, it may have still been a Category 5 hurricane. Either way, it’s an absolutely breathtaking view. “We flew over Hurricane Milton again today about an hour ago,” Matthew shares of the photo taken early on Wednesday morning. “It was not as symmetric as yesterday but it appeared larger today.” We flew over Hurricane Milton again today about an hour ago.

Imagine what this view must have looked like in person! Soon after that photo was taken, Matthew shared a second video that was taken around the same time.

To have HD video from space so easily accessible on social media still breaks my brain. What a time to be alive,” someone on social media shared in response, with another adding, “Hard to wrap your head around the sheer size and power of these storms. Thanks for sharing your perspective!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

In the US, our focus has been on the damages left behind after hurricanes wreaked havoc: Helene in North Carolina and Tennessee, and now Milton in Florida. Residents in the affected areas are working through flooding and recovering from the devastation. Meanwhile, in Africa, the Sahara Desert is battling flood conditions for the first time in 30 to 50 years! @pixelaiartistry (Credits to @Dylan Page) Sahara Desert is Flooding! #breakingnews #news #story #sahara #storytelling ♬ Originalton – Pixelaiartistry Typically, one of the driest places on Earth, the Sahara Desert flooding stems from greater rainfall. Experts state that the unprecedented fall rains result from a less volatile hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. However, many skeptics question this theory, and the cause of the heavy rainfall in the desert remains a mystery. The rains started in September, with a deluge during the first week of the month. Images from August and September show the result of this initial rainfall. August 2024. Image from NASA. After the initial September rainfall, you can see the areas of hydration in a September image. September 2024. Image from NASA. The September rainfall rehydrated the area and replenished underground aquifers. With the ground at saturation levels, additional rains in October caused the Sahara Desert to flood at levels not seen for decades. In a viral post on TikTok, user skylietravels shows the raging flood waters rushing across the desert sands. @skylietravels yall something is happening why is the sahara dessert flooding…. #hurricane #tampahurricane #traveltok #climatechange #saharadesert #traveltips #solotravel #hurricanehelene #hurricanemilton ♬ space song sped up – Extratropical Storms Contributed To Sahara Desert Flood The rainfall within the past two months is more than what usually falls throughout the year. Summer rains are not unusual. However, the precipitation so late in the year may cause weather issues for the next several years. Meteorologists are calling the late summer rain “extratropical storms.” No one expects Biblical-level flooding, but the Sahara Desert flood is worth monitoring. Lakes that have been dry for years are now overflowing with accumulated water. The area may still suffer from drought, but these rainfalls have helped by refilling barren reservoirs. Overall, the area needed water, but they could have done without the damage caused by the deluge. Please share if you found this interesting.

Brenden is a dog walker who is charged with walking a golden retriever named Kozy. Brenden lives in Las Vegas and is a full-time petsitter with experience handling various breeds. However, all his experience does not counteract Kozy’s quirkiness. Kozy is a somewhat typical golden retriever. One of his most intrusive habits is rubbing his backside against any living human with his hands. While annoying, this twerking move is hilarious. @walkswithbrenden He does this every time #dogs #dogsoftiktok #fyp ♬ GoodGooglyMooglyyy – Undergroundmusiclover Kozy thinks that every hand on the planet should be rubbing his butt. He will approach anyone, show off his twerking moves, and wait for pets. Kozy also exhibits all the standard golden retriever traits. He is subject to having random zoomies, being boisterous, and being overly affectionate toward everyone. Anyone with experience with golden retrievers can tell you they all have specific quirky behaviors. Kozy’s quirk is his twerk. He runs up to anyone, including random strangers, turns his backside toward the unsuspecting person, and wiggles his waggle. The gentleman does not get upset or fall prey to the quirky twerk. He doesn’t reach down to give Kozy a rub. He ignores the unwanted advances and doesn’t even acknowledge Kozy’s existence. Image from TikTok. Ignoring a large dog moving your chair with his plea for attention is an amazing show of willpower. Not many people can ignore a golden retriever’s happy and persistent advances! For Brenden, it’s just another part of a normal day. We’re guessing he spends much of his Kozy time apologizing for the dog’s insistent nudges. If you like Kozy’s quirky twerk and want more of Brenden’s adventures as a professional dog walker, follow him on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. Each dog he cares for has a different personality! Please share if you laughed. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
