Images of Chimney Rock, North Carolina, which was devastated by a mega
flood yesterday from Hurricane Helene. The debris left behind by the flood
has filled the valley after sweeping away much of downtown. Even I40 was
completely washed out in western NC into eastern TN. A dam failure near
Newport, TN sent a wall of water down the river. This unprecedented flooding
was from a worst case scenario with a powerful tropical cyclone getting
squeezed by the southern Appalachian mountains

:shocked:

So far Hurricane Helene has claimed 65 lives in the USA but this number is set to rise

For US weather, I use Weather Underground because it's sourced by local weather stations as much as it is sourced by poorly painted and maintained Stevenson Screens probably located in a concrete forest depicting the effects of "climate change".

September 2024 has been the wettest September on record for some counties,
according to provisional Met Office statistics.

Ten English counties experienced their wettest September on record.

For Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire, September 2024 was the wettest calendar
month the counties have experienced, in a series dating back to 1836.

But, although September has been exceptionally wet for southern and
central areas, Scotland and Northern Ireland have been drier than average,
balancing out the rainfall for the UK as a whole to 25% above the long-term
meteorological average.

I'm off to Burnley at the weekend. Saturday to be precise. I hope it's gonna shine.

Wednesday:
A bright day with plenty of sunny spells for many, however patchy rain may
linger in the south at first. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine with fairly gentle
winds. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
Remaining settled on Thursday and Friday with sunny spells and light winds.
Cooler nights, with fog and patchy frost, but warm sunshine by day. Turning
wet and windy come Saturday.

Ah ok. I'll wrap up then.

Current Cat 4 Hurricane Kirk that is way out in the Atlantic bothering fish will turn into a deep autumnal low that will affect Northern France and SOuthern England around Wednesday so one to keep an eye on..

Stormy here today orange warning

yes remnants of Hurrican Isaac

A day for the couch

Hurricane Milton (X on sat pic below) looks likely to form in Gulf of Mexico and direct hit Mid Florida (Tampa area as I type) Weds pm (Cat 1 or 2)

Not what Florida needs after what they have had to go through

The latest official NHC track for Tropical Storm Milton shows intensification into
a major hurricane by Tuesday with 120 mph max sustained winds at landfall
Wednesday PM! The very storm surge-prone Tampa Bay Region is right in the
center of the cone.
