Let’s compare size. #Idalia (2023) took a similar route to what #Helene is taking. But notice the smaller extent of Tropical Storm force winds from Idalia (image 2). Helene is already larger, with the wind field favoring the east side of circulation. Further reaching stronger winds (and rain) expected compared to Idalia, which was overall, a smaller major hurricane. #wx
The National Hurricane Center has released their report on #Hurricane #Idalia. Third strongest landfalling tropical cyclone on record for the Big Bend region. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL102023_Idalia.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3-5KpP3EQiu3KrJuGooknyy6RR1XSDVTLrFYfH0BamPnD9hLyval_2hHw_aem_AWw8KjtejWai621-gXoTB0tyYFL8JqEz7dI3kw_DXgpDGiifWoa5X5SoQi2cFCEJ0LE
#Hurricane Season ends today for the North Atlantic. Despite an El Niño developing we finish off with 20 named storms, making this the 4th most active season on record (tied with 1933).
Strongest landfall: Hurricane #Idalia (Cat 3).
Strongest storm: Hurricane #Lee (Cat 5).
184 days until the start of the 2024 Hurricane Season.
The fighting words come as #FEMA’s #DisasterRelief #fund is rapidly running out of #money in the wake of #Idalia, unprecedented #flooding in #Vermont & devastating #wildfires in #Maui.
#Scientists say #ClimateChange is increasing the frequency & intensity of such #WeatherDisasters, further straining FEMA’s #budget & personnel.

Rep #RalphNorman (R), whose state was also inundated by #flooding from #Idalia, told reporters yesterday that it would be “unacceptable” to pass a #stopgap #funding bill that doesn’t offer these #concessions….
“It’s time to fight,” Norman said. “If it shuts the government down, shut it down.”
#FloridaRepublicans walk fine line on #DisasterAid, as #shutdown looms
#HouseRepublicans from #Florida, which was hit by a major #hurricane last month, are attempting a delicate balancing act on #DisasterRelief funding.
FL Rs say they support additional disaster aid to help their state recover from Hurricane #Idalia….
(but) they won’t vote for disaster aid linked to #Ukraine funding.

A windsurfer went missing from Space Coast's shore
The day after Idalia began to roar
A Category Three storm with a mighty wave
To this windsurfer, a terrible fate it gave
Search teams searched both near and far
The windsurfer was Florida's second Idalia-related death by far

#Idalia T+7. I still have yet to see a Mediacom truck anywhere in the city, so who knows when we are getting modern internet back at the house. Most people I know have power back, and most of the shortages of goods have passed. Bowie is very happy that she now has control of the box (for now)
After Hurricane #Idalia flamingos are turning up in Ohio, Kentucky, Texas and North Carolina
So I thought it appropriate today to share this AI Art (DALL-E2) of a flamingo in the rain in Times Square!
@BrianHarrod DeSantis is the bad kindergartner in Florida's governor's office, giving a damn about Floridians' lives'.

Remnants of former Hurricane #Idalia slowing down just South of Nova Scotia & Newfoundland Sunday evening. May bring some scattered showers and breezy conditions this week if drifts too much closer. 3Sept2023
AL95 is better formed, right now, than #Idalia was, even right before going over W. Cuba.
I no likee.
It has a 90% chance of turning Cyclone within a week.
