🚨 BREAKING:
#TyphoonNoru
winds have increased by 150kph in 12 hours, of which 110kph increase occurred in a 6 hour period. This storm will catch people off guard in

The rapid intensification (RI) that
#HurricaneMilton
has/is undergoing is truly phenomenal. 75 mph increase in winds in ~27 hours is more than double the criteria for RI 🤯
@CNN
With hurricane hunters are measuring winds in excess of 150mph within the storm, we are only moments away from a CAT5 hurricane as

continues to rapidly strengthen ahead of landfall

18 concurrent tornado warnings across south central

Here in
#Houma
#Louisiana
we anticipated a break from the relentless CAT4 winds as the center of
#Ida
was forecast to cross over us. It never happened. The storm slowed & pivoted overhead and left us in the eyewall for hours. I fear what we may see in daylight

The water temperature in the Florida Keys and southeast Florida is hotter than has ever been measured during any time of year, and it's not even close.
WAVES OF PLASTIC LITTER DURBAN COASTLINE: This video (taken 12/12) is disturbing on so many levels. I understand there are a lot of factors at play but surely we can find a solution so that our garbage doesn't end up in our oceans like this?

The water has been literally sucked out of the Manatee River in Bradenton
#Florida
as powerful NE Winds drive it away from the inlets and bays. This will change rapidly as winds rotate around storm & push surge into coast.

For the past 2 months, we’ve been traveling across the United States
Western suburbs of

getting absolutely slammed by the eyewall (strongest part of storm) of

with 80mph+ winds! Damage and flooding ongoing.
@CNN
So this is COVID. Double vaccinated AND boosted. Followed all the rules. At home feeling like a train hit me in the chest. I would not want to find out what this virus does without a vaccination. Here’s to a better year ahead.
Really intense part of eyewall now. Storm pivoting directly over us keeping us in hurricane conditions for an extended duration of time.

Video of a

bayou frozen in time, just miles from the

Here’s what the potential storm surge could look like in Apalachicola,

as

#RogueWaves
are greater than twice the size of surrounding waves and are very unpredictable. They often come unexpectedly from directions other than prevailing wind and waves.
@CNN
#HighSurf
- Watch when a rogue wave hits the beach at the end of Seward Ave in the City of Ventura. This occurred during the high surf advisory at high tide. Because of this wave eight people were transported to local hospitals. Currently the beaches are closed in Ventura County
Remember, the tallest
#Houston
skyscrapers are over 1000ft tall (
@jpmorgan
Chase Tower) so winds likely exceeded what was experienced on the ground. Regardless, damage still evident in many downtown areas.

@NWSTampaBay
has issued some of the strongest surge-related wording I've ever seen this far in advance of an approaching hurricane
#HurricaneMilton
@CNN
"Damage to several buildings...Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads
become weakened or washed out..."
Wind shear is attempting to weaken
#HurricaneMilton
but surge impacts will be consistent with a landfalling CAT5 storm because of the immense energy that the storm has enacted on the Gulf of Mexico.
