Watch: Vast size of Hurricane Milton seen from above

Astronauts and researchers have captured a birds-eye view of Hurricane Milton as it barrels towards Florida.

Nasa astronaut Matthew Dominick took a timelapse video from onboard the Dragon Endeavour spacecraft showing the storm's vast size.

Meanwhile, researchers from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have been flying through the storm to help forecasters make accurate predictions about its path and intensity.

The category four system is headed towards Florida where residents are still cleaning up from Hurricane Helene.
