We cannot help but continue to admire the snow down south. GOES-East GEOCOLOR Composite revealed the fresh snowpack as the sun rose this morning. Snow extended from Texas to the Florida panhandle and up into North Carolina.
The new waterfront residences in East Boston already have tenants: a snail and two mussels that have snuggled into the crevices and pockets of an undulating concrete panel attached to a vertical sea wall of granite blocks. https://t.co/iSzTC1Cv8b
Why are so many historically rare storms hitting the Carolinas? Geography puts these states at risk, and climate change is loading the dice https://t.co/XJqm27ZvoQ via @ConversationUS
Massive debris flow traveling at lightning speed in eastern TN! The preceding drought conditions followed by days of rain ahead of Hurricane Helene set the stage. This is incredibly rapid for a debris flow.
Two years after Hurricane Ian, the high water mark still remains on the side of WINK News in Fort Myers. #Helene just added to it...this time 2 feet lower. (We move into our new building at 23 ft elevation in 2025). @NWSTampaBay
Today marked a historic moment with the installation of the "Sentinel" weather monitoring system, poised to face the challenge of Hurricane Helene.
The system was built to handle 16-foot breaking waves in 16 feet of still water, considering 3 feet of erosion and scour around the piles. It gathers data like 3D wind speed, pressure, temperature, humidity, and videos from the mast's top.

CRAZY, BUT TRUE: Debby as a tropical storm 125 miles off the coast of Southwest Florida produced higher water levels than a direct hit from Category 4 Hurricane Charley (2004) in the city of Fort Myers. How can that be? Debby's surge combined with a New Moon and pushed in during high tide. Hurricane Charley was small, fast and surge moved in approaching low tide for the city. Every storm is different! @WINKNews
