New Video: Here's a look at the storm surge (and surge of sand) on Oak Island, North Carolina earlier with Hurricane #Isaias. Highest surge so far: Myrtle Beach, SC at 4.2' #SCwx #NCwx @NWSWilmingtonNC
The Hazard Area Likeliness (HAL) Map now shows that tropical storm force winds are LIKELY for #PalmBeach and PROBABLE for other areas from the #SpaceCoast to #FortLauderdale in #TropicalStormIsaias #Isaias #HurricaneIsaias

#HurricaneIsaias forecast track has shifted slightly to the west, increasing wind risk for some Florida locations. #HAL map now forecasts tropical storm force winds (39mph+) as PROBABLE from #CocoaBeach and #SpaceCoast south to #FortLauderdale #HurricaneSeason2020 #Isaias

#TropicalStormIsaias takes aim at #Bahamas and then the U.S. It will likely become a #hurricane Friday night. See the latest impact probabilities with our updated Hazard Area Likeliness (HAL) map. #hurricaneseason2020

#TropicalStormIsaias is the earliest “I” Storm on record, breaking the previous record by 10 days! I just launched my first Hazard Area Likeliness (HAL) map for this storm, which should impact #Florida this weekend and the eastern seaboard early next week. #Isaias #hurricane

PDC is monitoring Tropical Cyclone Fani and assessing potential impacts and needs as this dangerous cyclone, the strongest to make landfall in India in 20 years, heads for landfall in the populated city of Puri, India. #TropicalCycloneFani #Puri #India @PDC_Global #Fani

Having trouble figuring out what’s going on here - undersea vent opened up? Large and sudden influx of lava into the ocean obviously #krakatau #volcano #Indonesia
Wow. This is the volcano “Child of Krakatoa” believed to have caused the Indonesian Tsunami. Video courtesy of Susi Air #tsunami

There is confidence in a substantial, 2-3" rainfall across the Gulf Coast this weekend. #BatonRouge Metro Airport has not recorded 2"+ of rain in a single day since April 14. We might expect street and poor drainage flooding. More: wbrz.com/news/cool-temps-con…

Learning so much at the @NACoTweets Gulf Coast County Caucus! Enjoying the science & stories from Dr. Hal Neeham during the lunch keynote! Great information on #hurricanes, #climatechange, and #sealevelrise and explaining how they’re all interacting to impact coastal communities.

Four Cat 4s hit the US in 2017-2018. Do you remember when Five Cat 4s hit South FL in a six year period from 1945-1950? 1945 Homestead 1947 Ft Lauderdale 1948 Everglades City 1949 West Palm Beach 1950 Hurricane King (Miami) All 5 were Cat 4 with 130 mph winds – at Miami, FL
While streaming #live in #HurricaneMichael at #TyndallAFB (halfway between #PanamaCity & #MexicoBeach, #Florida) we were also shooting HD video. The #debris in the #eyewall #wind was insane and why we ended up having to abandon our ride in the #eye. – at Tyndall Air Force Base, FL

😳Hurricane Michael intensified as it made landfall near Mexico Beach, FL around 1:30pm ET. @NOAA's #GOESEast satellite captured this view of the Cat. 4 hurricane moving ashore. #FLwx #HurricaneMichael #Michael #Florida #PanamaCityBeach #MexicoBeach
