King Tides, sea level rise, NE winds equal coastal flooding along E. Coast & FL, flash floods in the SW, & coastal flood advisories/warnings in CA in today's update for the All Hazards Consortium. Record flooding in many regions. Please stay aware and stay safe. 🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FDV...
Cut the catch! Menhaden shouldn't be fish meal or made into oil, they are an essential part of the ocean, coastal, and Chesapeake Bay ecosystems whose services both people and wildlife depend on. 🧪🐟 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The coastal flooding outlook is dire for Florida's east coast in the coming days. Days of persistent onshore winds will be perfectly aligned to overlap with the full moon on the 26th and perigee on the 28th. #KingTide #Miami #Florida @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

This is an important story about a dedicated, trustworthy meteorologist and climate change. We (Dave Jones) can't wait to see the film and support efforts to tell it with integrity and truth. Science Matters! 🧪🌎 yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/10/weat...
Nor'Easter causing coastal flooding and rough surf especially in Mid-Atlantic, potential for more damaging beach erosion and forecasted coastal flooding next week with high tides in today's update for the All Hazards Consortium. Please stay aware and stay safe. 🧪🌊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWsr...
Another excellent but worrisome piece by Andrew Freedman. The loss of satellite capabilities and the detrimental impacts on the future of weather forecasting. Particularly concerning when the need is greater than ever given extremes that are only going to get worse. 🧪🌀 www.cnn.com/2026/10/19/w...

So many more ocean vistas should look like this more of the time. Awe-inspiring!
POV ur inside a baitball of mullet. A lot of Coralheads didn’t get much work done yesterday, mesmerized by the mullet run that blotted out the sun and turned Coral City into a marriage of heaven and hell for predators and prey 🪸🐠👀
Bullying in science and life is unacceptable. Here's a story I probably should have shared more often. 🧪 www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Rip currents are possible this weekend along the East Coast from Maine to Florida. Always follow advice from the local beach patrol and flag warning systems. And check your beach forecast before heading out: weather.gov/beach
As always @geocollaborate.bsky.social uses data, excellent graphics and clearly explains what's happening and potential impacts for #Nolo and the #NorEaster. 🧪🌀
Impacts to come from rapidly intensifying #Nolo on #Hawaii and #NorEaster along the East Coast in the latest update for the All Hazards Consortium. Wind, intense rain, high surf, and coastal erosion in play. Another update today, please stay aware and stay safe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrcN...

BRB Emailing Cope for a paywalled article he wrote in the 1870s and to ask him what the hell he was thinking back then
Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!
Hurricane watch for Hawai'i and Nor'Easter headed for the East Coast in today's update for the All Hazards Consortium. So sorry for all those recovering from previous storms. Please stay aware, prepare as best you can, and stay safe. Our thoughts are with you. 🧪🌀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuR8...

My bottom line: I give ~90% chance of a net increase in Atlantic hurricane destruction over the coming 30 years compared to the past 30 years, because of climate change and continued development of vulnerable coastal areas. I'll cover the 10% best-case scenario in a future post.
Hurricane #Lowell moving away from western Hawaiian Islands, widespread impacts due to high winds, surf, & intense rainfall in today's update for All Hazards Consortium. Our thoughts to all impacted. Thx for all the great comments. Please stay aware and safe. 🧪🌀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmeC...

Want to understand the hurricane forecast "cone of uncertainty", what it means & why science, data are so important here, watch this excellent update on Hurricane Lowell by Dave Jones! Just look at the hundreds of positive comments. How often do see that these days.🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKBU...
#CAT4 Hurricane Lowell forecasted turn & potential impacts in western Hawaiian Islands in the latest update for the All Hazards Consortium. Looking at the wind field, forecast cone & what it all means! Data-based info & graphics, people are watching. Stay safe. 🧪🌀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKBU...
#CAT4 Hurricane #Lowell has strengthened again, slows, track shifts a bit west, and now watching for the turn north in today's update for the All Hazards Consortium. Impacts likely in the Hawaiian Islands, please stay aware, prepare, and stay safe. 🧪🌀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMnU...

Dear headline writers at @cnn.com Stop using natural disasters to describe calamities related to climate change and human activities. They are human-made. "Floods hit a historic Grand Canyon lodge. It’s the second park landmark affected by a natural disaster in the past year." 🧪
#CAT5 Hurricane #Lowell could turn toward #Hawaiian Islands while NOAA's Hurricane Hunters fly into the storm in today's update for the All Hazards Consortium by @geocollaborate.bsky.social. Please stay aware and stay safe out there. 🧪🌀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcQf...
Not sure I'd want to be on that flight! Check out the turbulence. Thank you Miss Piggy and the Hurricane Hunters for the job you do! From @geocollaborate.bsky.social 🧪🌀
