Cricket says don’t forget your furry family members when making emergency plans!
Make sure they’re storm-ready with these simple steps:
🦴 Pack the essentials: Have at least 3 days’ worth of food, water, and any medications your pets need. Don’t forget bowls, leashes, and waste bags!
🏷️ ID Tags and Microchips: Make sure your pets have updated ID tags and microchip information in case you get separated.
🛑 Safe Space: Set up a safe, comfortable spot for your pets away from windows and noise. Bring their favorite blanket or toy to keep them calm.
🚨 Pet-Friendly Shelter Plan: Have a list of pet-friendly options ready if you decide to evacuate.
Keep your pets safe and stress-free during the storm—because they’re family, too! 🐶🐱
Update 1100 #MILTON FORECAST TO RETAIN MAJOR #HURRICANE STATUS AND EXPAND IN
SIZE WHILE IT APPROACHES THE WEST COAST OF #FLORIDA...
...TODAY IS THE LAST FULL DAY FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS TO GET THEIR
FAMILIES AND HOMES READY AND EVACUATE IF TOLD TO DO SO BY LOCAL
OFFICIALS #FL
We are witnessing a genuinely extraordinary, and regionally quite deadly and destructive, period for extreme #weather in the United States. And, quite frankly, the fingerprints of #ClimateChange are all over what has transpired in recent weeks and may yet occur in coming days.
The Tropical Atlantic has never been this hot before in May.
A severe marine heatwave has developed across much of the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, with water temperatures up to 5-7°F above normal in some areas.
Water temperatures in the Caribbean have already exceeded peak hurricane season levels (mid-September). This will have significant implications for marine life and hurricane season.
@janeklipinski@MaxUlichney This is what I’m trying to make a pros/cons list for exactly! Looking at a side by side they aren’t majorly different, beyond the pencil and A lil speed. The new screen texture is only on ones with 1 TB or more I think soooo?
It just doesn't end! The ocean heat content in the Atlantic's "main development region" (MDR) is where it would typically be on July 10... 76 days from now.
And the eastern portion of the MDR, from 60-20°W lines up with the average value on July 16. 🤯
