Absolutely incredible: Tuesday morning's high tide in #Miami exceeded the major flood threshold... that is the 1st time it has ever happened in the city's history without a hurricane storm surge. It tied (within 0.1 inches) the storm tides produced by Irene on Oct 15, 1999 and Wilma on Oct 24, 2005.
Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil has spiked again, higher than on Oct. 14, to 5.4 m gauge height. This corresponds to ~17,700 m3/s. This is now the highest since the "big flood" in 2023. Videos, if true, are incredible: www.instagram.com/p/De_0jxdxWya/

The federal agency has sent critical funding to the state after Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Ida and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the SPC, Sunday's EF1 tornado in Santa Fe, NM is the first in the metro area since April 15, 1971. NOTES: An F1 tracked through the southern part of Santa Fe County in 1989. Unofficially, there was an F2 on the west side of town in 1893. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...
One year ago, my note that Jamaica had never had a Cat 4 hurricane hit. Then Melissa hit as a Cat 5.
Folks: Jamaica has never had a Cat 4 or 5 landfall, can you believe it? Map shows the Cat 3s. Most recent close pass by Cat 4 was just last year, Beryl 2024. #Melissa could be closer, stronger, and last longer. List of deadliest/strongest Jamaica Hurricanes www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane...
Incredible animation of Hurricane Wilma's landfall on southern Florida. Because it essentially moved over a swap, it barely lost intensity and caused an unexpected amount of wind damage in the Miami area. Via @bmcnoldy.bsky.social www.facebook.com/reel/1143611...

The USGS Pager has turned red for the China 7.0 earthquake, with 100s of fatalities & $billions in damage. Rarely, this can be inaccurate, especially in remote areas. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
Big shallow 7.0 quake in China just now. Last 7+ mag was Jan. 2025. Around 8 of that mag or higher since 2000. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
A local resident & County commissioner has asked that Highway 12 on the NC Outer Banks be moved temporarily until a long-term bridge can be built. www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-...

Don't fall into the eye of Super Typhoon #Champi! With 185-mph 1-minute sustained winds, it has tied (with Super Typhoon #Sinlaku as highest winds on Earth this year). This satellite is from EUMETSAT. Details on Guam impacts & Taiwan forecast: www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane...

21 years ago today, Hurricane Wilma became the most powerful storm in the Atlantic. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-b...
Super Typhoon Champi made a close pass to Guam, ripping off roofs and knocking down trees on the island. It is the third typhoon to affect the Mariana Islands this year. Read the story at www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane...
From summer heat to winter chills! 🥵🥶 Temperatures are set to plunge as much as 50 degrees or more across parts of the Midwest and East this weekend, with gusty winds, storms and even some snowflakes possible. bit.ly/4zCqEmO
Vexcel Hurricane #Isaias report is out. 17,860 structures damaged, 600 destroyed. vexceldata.com/stories/gray...

The National Weather Service (NWS) has been surveying the damage from the Hurricane #Isaias tornado reports and, as of Wednesday night, has confirmed 18 tornadoes. Five of those were powerful EF2 tornadoes. www.accuweather.com/en/severe-we...
Been messing around with NEXRAD SCIT data for a couple months (old school, I know but I've always been fascinated by it). Up until last night, there were barely any TVSs to work with because we hadn't had severe weather for so long! www.weatherwatchers.org/wxdata/radar...
The gauge at Iguazu Falls today appears to be higher than any flood since the "big one" in 2023. Flow this morning is almost 16,000 cf/s www.accuweather.com/en/climate/e...
Not a good day for a Power Grid Emergency! This is mostly a maintenance issue but the late heat wave won't help. Going to be 91 in DC today. Good luck, all. www.wusa9.com/article/news...
So far 5 tornadoes have been confirmed from Hurricane #Isaias (counted by @StormOfCorn) including 4 EF1s. More surveys ongoing. Here's a look at the LSR reports for the weekend. WRAP: www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane...
