I’m carefully watching live coverage of this massive hurricane. Live webcams in Florida can be accessed here.
I have several friends in both the Tampa Bay Area and throughout South Carolina. Hoping everyone stays safe.
Update: Ryan Hall, the fellow on the linked YouTube channel, just said that the people in the Big Bend area of Florida, are about to experience the strongest storm that has been seen there in the last 100 years. Simultaneously, Hurricane John is hitting the west coast of México.
I look forward to Al Gore’s new PowerPoint on Helene. Ohhhhhhhhhhh Mommmaaaaaaaaa … a BIG hurricane in FL!!! Cats, dogs … living together with Polar Bears and Manatees! Oh my!!
Not making light of this BIG hurricane. But let’s be real about predictable seasonality of Hurricanes. Some years they’re BIG … some years they’re small.
There was another HH in 1958. Same day and everything.

Weird.
Perhaps we should stop naming hurricanes Helene?
There seems to be a correlation!
Sarc.
My sister Helene passed away exactly a month ago. Kinda wild she was reincarnated as a Cat 4 hurricane. lol.
