The International Space Station (ISS) recently shared satellite images of three major natural disasters occurring around the world. The images captured the devastating impact of wildfires in Maui and Oregon, as well as the wrath of Typhoon Khanun in North America and Asia.

The ISS emphasized that storms and wildfires not only have destructive effects on Earth but can also be observed from space. This allows researchers and emergency personnel to gain a better understanding of these natural disasters. The three calamities collectively claimed the lives of hundreds of people.

The satellite images reveal plumes of smoke rising from the Oregon and Maui wildfires, illustrating the havoc wreaked on the ground. The ISS described the scene of the Maui wildfires, stating that the island of Maui and the hard-hit coastal town of Lahaina were pictured from the station as it orbited above the Pacific Ocean. The ISS also captured an image of the wildfire near the Willamette National Forest in Oregon.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Khanun caused extensive devastation in the Philippines, Japan, and the Korean peninsula. The typhoon brought heavy rainfall and flash floods, while frequent tropical storms triggered landslides and mudslides in various countries across East Asia.

It is worth noting that Europe also faced challenges with both heat waves and tornadoes, adding to the global concerns over climate change. The recent natural disasters serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the effects of climate change and take proactive measures to mitigate its impact.

As the ISS continues to capture images of these natural disasters, it remains an invaluable tool for researchers and emergency personnel to monitor and respond to such events on Earth.
