Hurricane Beryl Makes His Way Across The Caribbean

Handout photo from the International Space Station, taken June 30, 2024, shows Hurricane Beryl pictured east of Barbados. An astronaut has captured jaw-dropping pictures of destructive Hurricane Beryl from space. NASA's Matthew Dominick shot images of the storm as it made its way across the Caribbean this week. The Category 4 hurricane had winds which peaked at 165 mph, and is expected to bring life-threatening winds and storm surges to Jamaica on Wednesday. Matthew Dominick wrote: "We flew right over the top of Hurricane Beryl today (1 July). Peering down into the eye with the 50 to 500 mm lens gave me both an eerie feeling and a high level of weather nerd excitement." NASA say they study hurricanes from space through images like these, as well as observations from satellites. They explain: "This vantage point helps scientists understand how climate change impacts hurricanes and learn how communities can better prepare for tropical cyclones in a warmer world."

CHINA-HUNAN-CHANGSHA-HEARING-IMPAIRED COUPLE-LIFE (CN)

(240519) -- CHANGSHA, May 19, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken by daughter Zhang Yuhan with reporter's camera shows her parents, Zhang Yongsheng and Zhan Jingwen, at Sifangping night market in Changsha, central China's Hunan Province, May 15, 2024. Though hearing-impaired, Zhang Yongsheng and his wife Zhan Jingwen managed to make their daughter, who also suffers from the same disability, hear at the age of two. By running a snack stall at a night market and thanks to support from their relatives and friends, the couple managed to afford a cochlear implant for her daughter's left ear and a hearing aid for the daughter's right ear. "It is too expensive to have the similar treatment for me and my wife, and we have already been accustomed to the silent world anyway. What we want is to make sure our daughter can hear." Earlier this year, when the family's story was spread out by a blogger, they surprisingly received loads of kindness and encouragement from a lot of strangers. Thanks to the hearing aids
