Hurricane Helene is now a 'dangerous' Category 4 storm as it nears Florida

Helene now a category 4 hurricane

Hurricane Helene has strengthened into an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm ahead of its anticipated landfall along Florida’s coast, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.

As of 6:20 p.m. ET, Helene was about 120 miles west of Tampa with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph — the benchmark for Category 4 strength, according to the NHC.

As Helene approaches Florida's northwest coast, forecasters warn communities hundreds of miles away to prepare for its powerful winds and flooding rains.

Forecasters emphasize that the storm is unusually large, with hurricane-force winds extending outward up to 60 miles from its center and tropical-storm-force winds reaching 345 miles away.

Hurricane Helene: A cataclysmic blow that will likely be among Florida's worst | Forecast

Hurricane HeleneHurricane Helene, an alliterative threat to life and property across much of Florida, remains on a collision course with the Florida Gulf Coast. Track expectations have changed little since Tuesday, and the strongest hurricane landfall to strike Apalachee Bay since the 1840s is expected to hit Thursday evening.

Due to the intensity and extraordinary size of the storm, Helene will bring catastrophic, life-threatening surge to the west-central Florida and Big Bend coasts, and a core of destructive winds to a broad swath of North Florida and Georgia that likely includes Tallahassee

Hottest US city Phoenix smashes heat streak record

Phoenix heat records setThe desert city of Phoenix, Arizona, suffered a record 113 straight days with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) this year, leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths and more acres burned by wildfire across the state, officials said.

The city of 1.6 million residents, the largest in the Sonoran desert, had its hottest-ever summer, breaking the previous 2023 record by nearly two degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
The 113-day streak reached last week smashed Phoenix's previous record of 76 days over 100 F set in 1993.
"It's very rare that we see, especially...two record breaking summers like we just experienced," said Matt Salerno, meteorologist at the National Weather Service Phoenix office.
Heat has killed 256 people so far this year in Phoenix's Maricopa County and is the suspected cause of 393 other deaths, according to official data. The county had a record 645 heat deaths last year.

'Go into hurricane mode now': Helene expected to lash Florida this week

Hurrican HeleneA brewing storm in the Caribbean Sea is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico over the next few days and make landfall along the Gulf Coast as early as Thursday − possibly as a major Category 3 system.

“Everyone along the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend region needs to be prepared for hurricane impacts,” AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said Monday, adding that the setup has the potential to become the strongest hurricane landfall in the U.S. so far this season.

WeatherTiger Meteorologist Ryan Truchelut put it succinctly in an online post Monday afternoon: "Helene will come at you faster than you think, so go into hurricane mode now. While there remains uncertainty in both the track and intensity forecast, Florida isn’t getting out of this one."

Downgraded Tropical Storm Francine still dangerous heading inland

Francine now a dangerous tropical stormFloodwater fills the cul-de-sac on Valley Vista Drive, south of Sedgwich Drive in Jackosn, Miss., on Sept. 12, 2024. Hurricane Francine brought rain to central Mississippi, leaving some low-lying areas underwater. The hurricane made landfall in Louisiana late Wednesday, Sept. 11, as a Category 2, with its effects felt in Mississippi as it entered the state as a tropical storm.

Floodwater under the railroad overpass on E. Monument Street in Jackosn, Miss., hit just above a foot-and-a-half after Hurricane Francine brought rain to central Mississippi, leaving some low-lying areas under water Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024. The hurricane made landfall in Louisiana late Wednesday as a Category 2, with its effects felt in Mississippi as it entered the state as a tropical storm.

Entire Earth vibrated for nine days after climate-triggered mega-tsunami

Mega tsunami

A landslide and mega-tsunami in Greenland in September 2023, triggered by the climate crisis, caused the entire Earth to vibrate for nine days, a scientific investigation has found.

The seismic event was detected by earthquake sensors around the world but was so completely unprecedented that the researchers initially had no idea what had caused it. Having now solved the mystery, the scientists said it showed how global heating was already having planetary-scale impacts and that major landslides were possible in places previously believed to be stable as temperatures rapidly rose.

The collapse of a 1,200-metre-high mountain peak into the remote Dickson fjord happened on 16 September 2023 after the melting glacier below was no longer able to hold up the rock face. It triggered an initial wave 200 metres high and the subsequent sloshing of water back and forth in the twisty fjord sent seismic waves through the planet for more than a week.

Los Angeles hit by double whammy of wildfires and earthquake

LA hit by wildfires and 4.7 quakeMillions of residents in the Los Angeles area were rattled by a 4.7 magnitude earthquake that hit early on Thursday morning and came as the region continues to battle multiple wildfires that have yet to be brought under control.

The quake’s epicenter was 4 miles north of Malibu, according to the US Geological Survey. The tremor unleashed boulders on to a Malibu road, visibly shook Santa Monica’s historic 1909 wooden pier and jolted people from bed. No injuries or damages were immediately reported.

The shaking was felt as far as 45 miles (72km) away in Orange county, where people reported items moving in their homes, and was followed by several smaller aftershocks. A live camera at the 115-year-old Santa Monica pier, about 10 miles away from Malibu, showed several seconds of intense shaking. Bruce Silverstein, a Malibu councilmember, said he had lived in the community for 13 years and this was the hardest quake he’d felt yet.
