A new 4K livestream from space has captured the immense scale of Hurricane Milton, revealing the storm’s terrifying size as it heads towards Florida. The footage, provided by space video streaming app Sen, showcases swirling clouds and offers a unique perspective on the power of the hurricane. Milton, one of the strongest hurricanes to form in the North Atlantic, prompted President Biden to declare a state of emergency for Florida as evacuation orders were issued.
Meteorologists have described the storm as unprecedented, with a pressure reading of 897 millibars, placing it among the top four hurricanes with the lowest pressure since 1979. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has urged residents to evacuate immediately if instructed, stressing that staying behind could put lives at serious risk.
The livestream comes as Sen prepares to launch its 20-hour-a-day Ultra High Definition feed, providing real-time environmental monitoring from space. This footage, alongside NASA’s existing high-definition cameras, allows viewers to witness Earth’s weather patterns in remarkable detail, including extreme events like Hurricane Milton.
Sen’s CEO, Charles Black, emphasized the global importance of the mission, aiming to inspire and educate the public. The livestream is available for free, giving people around the world an unprecedented view of the planet and its changing environment.
