[:ja]クリスティーナ・コッシュ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したルイジアナ州付近のハリケーンバリーです。
ハリケーンバリーは7月13日夕方には勢いが弱まり、熱帯暴風雨に戻りましたが、バリーはとりわけ危険な嵐だとして警戒され、トランプ大統領も11日にルイジアナ州に非常事態宣言を発令しました。これは、ミシシッピ川がすでに記録的な水位に達しているためです。アメリカは昨年7月から今年6月にかけて、124年の歴史の中で最も雨の多い12か月間を経験しました。特に春に降った記録的な大雨で、ミシシッピ川の一部では5か月も氾濫危険水位にあります。
地上の様子はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.809: Hurricane Barry🇺🇸
Astronaut Christina Koch captured from ISS the Hurricane Barry over Louisiana, U.S..
Barry weakened Sunday afternoon as it crept over northwestern Louisiana, but the storm was still threatening millions with possible “life-threatening” flooding. As it headed deeper inland, Barry was downgraded to a tropical depression.
However, the Mississippi River has been above almost 5m for 3 straight months, and moost of the city is below sea level. The typhoon is still hovering over the same state where it made landfall last Saturday, dumping tremendous amounts of rain on cities already deluged.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
