NASA released footage of Hurricane Idalia captured from the International Space Station (ISS) as the storm struck Florida on Wednesday.

NASA live-streamed footage of the storm on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, as the ISS flew over the massive storm. Idalia made landfall Wednesday morning as a Category 3 hurricane, triggering a massive response from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration.

By 11 a.m. ET Wednesday, the storm was a Category 1, with sustained winds of 90 mph, and its impact was being felt in Georgia, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Authorities continue to urge caution as, despite the slight decline, the storm remains dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

Idalia produced storm surges that reached several feet in some areas and brought damaging winds that howled up to 130 miles per hour at one point, according to the National Hurricane Center. It also caused flooding that completely encompassed Floridian roadways when it passed the Apalachee Bay and made landfall over Florida's Big Bend region, where the peninsula merges into the panhandle.

The massive storm knocked out power for roughly 270,000 Floridians, as well as 40,000 Georgians. DeSantis said linemen had already gotten power back to 100,000 Florida residents as of late morning.

"The goal is to get everybody back online as quickly as possible," DeSantis said during a Wednesday press conference, adding that search and rescue efforts would remain throughout the storm’s duration, as long as it was safe to do so. 

He also said the Florida Department of Transportation had 650 heavy vehicles currently in use and about 30,000 power line personnel tasked with restoring power.
