Made inquiries to co-workers in #FL, #GA, #SC, #NC for status updates. #TropStorm #Ian (formerly #Hurricane Ian)
-
#NOAA / #NHC #TropStorm #Elsa briefly reached #hurricane status again off shore of Tampa Bay, but is now a tropical storm again. Storm surge, tornadoes, wind and rain all expected across the US Southeast over the next few days.
If you're in #FL, #GA, #SC, #NC, #AL it is probably too late to do any additional preparation. Just try to ride it out.

Tropical depression Claudette happened. I remember seeing something about a likely storm a few days ago, but when I visited the #NOAA / #NHC site late last night (it was too hot to sleep until around 05:00) the #TropStorm was now a depression and heading for #NC.
It was expected to be a wet storm. Maybe later, I'll look for news stories.

#NC considers raising the age of criminal prosecution to 10 years old.
Personally, I think that the police and prosecutors (and school administrators) who abuse their powers to commit these acts are as great a threat to our nation as people who give atomic bomb plans to the Iranians.

No results yet for #GA, #NV, #PA, #MI, #TX, WI, #NC.

post-tropical cyclone #Zeta continues to move rapidly. The center of the storm is over Delaware, about to cross into the ocean (most of the storm is already at sea). Yesterday afternoon / evening, it was heading into Louisiana and Mississippi.
#NOAA / #NHC has issued its last advisory about the storm. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
Along the way, parts of #DE #MD #VA #NJ #NC #TN #KY #WV #LA #MS #AL were under the storm. Hopefully, because of its speedy motion, there will be less damage across most of that path.

Off the coast of #NC, #TD-15 forms. Appears to be moving away from land. There's something South of #Jamaica that #NOAA / #NHC is preparing to issue advisories about.

#Hurricane #Isaias getting stronger over the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. Now forecast to pass E of #Florida ( #FL ) and possibly come ashore in #NC or #SC.

I was on the phone with S a couple of nights ago. She needed someone to talk to because her dad is hospitalized. His test results have not come back yet, but they suspect #COVID-19. Her younger brother, who had recently moved from #NC to #GA to take care of him, had been tested and is on self-quarantine.
While we were still on the phone, her older brother (I don’t know what state he’s in) texted her to inform her he was being tested for #2019-nCoV at a hospital emergency room.
She did not say whether it was possible that either her mom or herself had been exposed, but last I heard, her parents still lived in the same house.
This is what happens when governors refuse to do their jobs (and refuse to allow mayors to do theirs).

Also, looks like #TDBertha's rain is now over #NC, #VA, #WV ... The #TD should dissolve into just a regular low pressure and storm system in a day or two.

**Warning: Violent**
A school resource officer fired but not arrested for suddenly body-slamming middle school student, then dragging the unconscious student down the hallway. https://nu.federati.net/url/253729?tag=13&content_type=video/mp4&owner_id=&auto_buffer=1&autoplay=0 [twitter . com / video . twimg . com] I believe the state is North Carolina. Vance County, #NC.

Looking at the #NOAA / #NHC site, https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ , I see #Hurricane Dorian is still lashing the Bahamas with wind speeds of 185MPH (that’s about 300km/h) gusting up to 200MPH (that’s about 325km/h) and storm surge up to 23 feet (that’s about 7 meters).
For #FL, it looks like the storm center will be North of Miami, but a storm is not a dot. It is an irregular roundish spiral-like area that can be hundreds of miles across. Nearly all of Florida (and parts of #GA, #SC, #NC, #VA) is likely to face some part of this storm.
On the West Coast, #TropStorm Julliette is heading away from land, so its progrssion toward hurricane status should not be of major importance.

No link, because I can’t find it right now, but I did see that #NC / #SC have some pig farm poop lagoons whose contents have escaped into the local environment. If you’re in that part of the country, consult your local government and news sources for info and what you need to do.
