Let’s compare size. #Idalia (2023) took a similar route to what #Helene is taking. But notice the smaller extent of Tropical Storm force winds from Idalia (image 2). Helene is already larger, with the wind field favoring the east side of circulation. Further reaching stronger winds (and rain) expected compared to Idalia, which was overall, a smaller major hurricane. #wx

🌀 #ouragan Franklin :
Là aussi un ouragan extrêmement puissant, mais sans danger.
Ouragan majeur, catégorie 4, ACE 26,6
Franklin aura marqué les esprits par son esthétisme en cette fin août. Il s'accompagne aussi d'Idalia qui était en formation à ce moment là.

#Idalia , à juste titre, marquera plus les esprits. Car Destructeur !
Nommé seulement 4jours, L'ACE est de 7,4. Catégorie 4 au maximum de son intensité, avec des vents de 215km/h,
Idalia touchera la côte U.S en catégorie 3.

The fighting words come as #FEMA’s #DisasterRelief #fund is rapidly running out of #money in the wake of #Idalia, unprecedented #flooding in #Vermont & devastating #wildfires in #Maui.

#Scientists say #ClimateChange is increasing the frequency & intensity of such #WeatherDisasters, further straining FEMA’s #budget & personnel.

#FloridaRepublicans walk fine line on #DisasterAid, as #shutdown looms

#HouseRepublicans from #Florida, which was hit by a major #hurricane last month, are attempting a delicate balancing act on #DisasterRelief funding.
FL Rs say they support additional disaster aid to help their state recover from Hurricane #Idalia….
(but) they won’t vote for disaster aid linked to #Ukraine funding.

A windsurfer went missing from Space Coast's shore
The day after Idalia began to roar
A Category Three storm with a mighty wave
To this windsurfer, a terrible fate it gave
Search teams searched both near and far
The windsurfer was Florida's second Idalia-related death by far

#Idalia T+7. I still have yet to see a Mediacom truck anywhere in the city, so who knows when we are getting modern internet back at the house. Most people I know have power back, and most of the shortages of goods have passed. Bowie is very happy that she now has control of the box (for now)
