Holy fuck it sounds absolutely brutal right now.
She's a 90mph sustained wind Cat 1 now.
Well this one is kind of ear rape at the time of writing.

Keep safe, my American cousins. <3

You think we should go ahead and make a megathread for this, since it's probably going to be non-stop shit https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/xgtwo/two_atl_2d0.png Looks like Joyce is about to clobber Helene and Helene is supposed to hit Ireland in the future.
sadly, i didn't die or get washed away. I barely even got a heavy storm here in fayetteville.
damn, I forget that some hurricanes come back on themselves and can reach up to Ireland. that's crazy
https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/08L_tracks_latest.png https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/10L_tracks_latest.png Nothing really major coming out of those two right now. Helene might end up as a nasty storm in the UK but it won't be a tropical cyclone that far north. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_effects_in_Europe The one that I'm keeping an eye on is Issac, who might sneak by unnoticed and then become an issue for someone (maybe me) https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/09L_tracks_latest.png https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/09L_intensity_latest.png As for Florence. It's still flooding and raining and slightly windy in places. Still a few days of it for some. Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel stumbled upon a Waffle House that had no power but was serving food in Wilmington so the Waffle House Index is moved to Condition Yellow. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/06L_tracks_latest.png Elsewhere around the world, there's this little fellow named Super Typhoon MANGKHUT. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/26W_gefs_latest.png Did I say little? I ment massive. (Well into Cat 5 equivalent) https://twitter.com/BOM_WA/status/1040532032898707456?s=19 http://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/wp2618.gif http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/26W/imagery/vis0-lalo.gif This baby probably deserves it's own thread. Winds well into the upper 100s (like 160-180mph) barrelling towards highly populous Asia. Not gonna be a good one.
holy fucking shit.

I've been away for awhile so haven't been able to update. So far the death toll is 23 https://twitter.com/BMcNoldy/status/1041702038835539968 https://twitter.com/rarohde/status/1041712626022133760 Widespread flooding has occurred, as expected: https://twitter.com/AMHQ/status/1041659573847896064 https://twitter.com/Sean_Breslin/status/1041489125327745025 The remnants of Florence will continue to move across the North East until they dissipate. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT06/AL062018_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind.png
