this set-up is very much like the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 that destroyed Islamorada. very small, tight, concentrated eye with phenomenal low pressure and unimaginable winds, pushed a 20ft storm surge over three islands down here in the keys. that one may very well have been an out-of-category storm. Milton has all of the characteristics of that storm, just coming from the opposite direction.

this one will be bad, no matter. this is a storm i would get the hell out of the way of.

get out!

Milton is the third fastest-intensifying storm on record in the Atlantic

In total, there have been as many category 4 or 5 Atlantic hurricanes to hit the US since 2017 as there have been in the prior 57 years

A lot of those tips don’t really hold if your house is blown off its foundations and washed into the ocean, or smashed to toothpicks by flying debris.

No. But they’re great if you’re outside of the evacuation zone.

Though I think the skipped hurricane glass, shutters or boarding up your windows.

Hope the good people of Brexitland are surviving their horrific ultrahurricane and mega heatwave via a BBC glitch!

With all the hurricanes in the news you would have a double take!

Overall, the researchers estimate that rain events like Helene’s landfall should now be expected about once every seven years, although the uncertainty is large (running from three to 25 years). For the Appalachian region, where rainfall events this severe don’t appear in our records, they are likely to now be a once-in-every-70-years event thanks to climate warming (with an uncertainty of between 20 and 3,000 years).
