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."
