…HELENE EXPECTED TO BRING CATASTROPHIC WINDS AND STORM SURGES TO THE NE GULF COAST…
Strengthening is forecast, and #Helene is expected to be a
major hurricane when it reaches the Florida Big Bend coast Thursday evening. Weakening is expected after landfall, but Helene's fast forward speed will allow strong, damaging winds, especially in gusts, to penetrate well inland across the SE United
States, including over the higher terrain of the southern
Appalachians."
Hurricane Idalia has intensified into a dangerous Category 4 hurricane with fierce winds of 130 mph – capable of widespread catastrophic dam
Hurricane Idalia had been predicted to get to Category 3. It exceeded expectations and is now Category 4.
Hurricane Idalia has intensified into a dangerous Category 4 hurricane with fierce winds of 130 mph – capable of widespread catastrophic damage – ahead of the storm’s expected landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast Wednesday morning.
Numerous residents had been warned flee, schools are closed and the National Guard is preparing for rescues.
Idalia is expected to make landfall Wednesday morning as “an extremely dangerous” storm on Florida’s Big Bend coast, bringing once-in-a-lifetime levels of damaging winds and storm surge, according to the National Hurricane Center.
WTXL, the ABC station in the state capital Tallahassee, currently has live coverage on YouTube. Never mind the pauses for commercials.
Despite the dead air during commercials, it's worth checking out particularly if you live in an area not usually affected by hurricanes.
This is Florida's second major hurricane in under a year. This particular part of Florida has apparently not previously experienced a major hurricane (Category 3 or bigger). Idalia will also have a major impact on Georgia and the Carolinas.
The National Hurricane Center site has information on wind speed and rainfall estimates.

If NOAA Hurricane Hunters can wear face masks, why can’t Donald Trump?

Maybe somebody should tell Trump that his Hurricane Sharpie won’t work without wearing a face mask. 😝
Speaking of Hurricane Delta: Yes, we’ve already exhausted all the regular Atlantic hurricane names for 2020 and are burning through the Greek alphabet.
We’re three away from breaking the record for number of Atlantic named tropical cyclones in a year. The seas are warming and making tropical cyclones more frequent and more powerful.
It looks like Louisiana will be getting its second major hurricane of the year this weekend.
