Here is the list of the 2023 Hurricane season storm names. My favorite is either Gert or Sean

2nd named storm of the 2023 season, #Bret could be an issue for the lesser Antilles later on this week. @NHC_Atlantic is watching a couple of waves off Africa. Stay tuned

Interesting map I came across recently. The #Orca population is estimated to be only 50,000 and apparently they hate yachts. Also, research compares their intelligence to a 16 year old human 😳

Northeast #USA experiencing some of the worst air quality in the world right now. #CanadaWildfires bringing dangerous conditions across a 500 mile swath. Limit your exposure outside in these areas. Thoughts go out to #Canada as well.

#Olmulgee river in #Macon already past minor flooding due to massive amounts of rain fall in central #Georgia. River flooding peaks after the rain is over.

Heavy rain has impacted parts of the Southeast between early Sun morning through this morning and is still ongoing across parts of Georgia and Alabama, leading to areas of flash flooding. Maximum estimated rainfall totals are as high as 7-10" so far, with a larger area over 3".
