2024 Hurricane and Tropical Weather

[bestill]

Anyone that lives in Florida should watch this next storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. It's on the west side close to Mexico/Texas border, but it's projected path is eastward towards the Florida peninsula. It appears Tampa Bay may be impacted, along with everyone south of the region. This makes me so sad because there are people still trying to recover from the last storm. My prayers are with these people.

Just what we don't need another storm! I am watching it carefully although not living in Florida.

Hundreds of people are still missing just over a week after Hurricane Helene made landfall.

Here in Sarasota, we're already receiving river flood warnings. The Myakka River (out east of me) always overflows The flood plains typically move the water as expected. However the coming rains will likely just exacerbate the danger.

Snip
At 8:00 AM EDT Saturday the stage was 6.4 feet. - Bankfull stage is 7.0 feet. - Forecast...The river is expected to rise above flood stage early Monday morning and continue rising to 7.2 feet Monday evening. Additional rises are possible thereafter. - Flood stage is 7.0 feet. - Flood History...This crest compares to a previous crest of 7.2 feet on 12/28/2002.

Well, this is annoying..... I'm the little red dot, just below Tampa. I'm not in an evacuation zone nor am I in a flood zone. Concrete block home, about 2' above the road, newer 6 y/o roof.

After hurricane Debbie, I reinforced everything with rebar. This morning I tied my sunflowers to bamboo stakes. Not that they will help in a storm, but maybe they'll grow a little straighter after hurricane Helene blew them sideways.

I'd say "annoying" is an understatement! You and Florida don't need this.

I was listening to a weather video earlier and at the moment, due to change of course, Bradenton is the expected landfall on Wed morning. I am 2.2 miles south of the Sarasota Airport.

If it does come in as a CAT 2, not even the east coast, where my aunt & uncle are, will be unscathed.

read this about rescues in NC- had seen some people complaining that here were not enough rescue fights, etc.

Surge in Helene relief efforts led to about 30 mid-air close calls over North Carolina in a single day

The close calls resulted from a spike in aircraft that included planes, helicopters and drones arriving in western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

www.cbsnews.com

puts things in perspective.

The water is back on! We're under a boil advisory for the next few days for drinking or brushing teeth, etc. The entire North Carolina/Tennessee border only has one road open for travel. And today two 18 wheelers wrecked on it at different times, closing the way temporarily. I40 and I26 won't be repaired for nearly a year. That's what makes me so worried about the people who are in inaccessible areas.

I know 2 crashed on the parkway, where they werent supposed to be anyway, is that where you're talking about? I could (almost) forgive them if they were from relief agencies, but I don't know where they were from. Do you?

Used to live in Forest City, NC. We would drive to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure on the weekends. It was a small tourist area that was absolutely beautiful to see. We would canoe in the lake, and hike around Chimney Rock. So very sad to see the devastation and loss for the community. I live about 50 miles from where Helene hit Florida. The winds were strong, but we didn't see the devastation that WNC did. Never would have thought it would do such damage so far inland.

Surprised the heck out of us also...

Dolly is the Saint of Appalachia! We love her so! She has stepped up time and time again with disasters and with wonderful books for all the children everywhere! If she's not made a Saint by the Vatican ,well, we'll just do it ourselves! Disclaimer: recovering Catholic who still goes to light candles.
