Carlos here, heading to Arbutus Cove on a windy day to test recording with both my point-and-shoot camera and my phone for better audio. The storm surge is powerful, tossing huge logs around as I capture video of the dramatic waves. I won't go onto the beach due to the rough conditions, but I'll get some action-packed footage from the steps. Meanwhile, my son is flying back from England, with multiple connections before arriving in Victoria. That's it for today—check my blog for the video, and I'll be back with a regular show tomorrow!

1-12 from three didn't matter. Being down 16 didn't matter. No Deivon Smith didn't matter. St. John's found a way to win as they have all season. Through suffocating defense and timely baskets from Kadary Richmond, RJ Luis Jr, Simeon Wilcher, and Zuby Ejifor the Johnnies got it down in OT in front of over 14,000 fans. Richmond had his best game in a St. John's uniform and when it was all said and done St. John's remained in first place and sweeping Xavier for just the third time ever.Follow the podcast on Twitter:@EyeonStormPod = Eye on the Storm Podcast#sjubb

University of Florida engineer Brian Phillips updates us on NSF-funded efforts to capture vital data during landfalling hurricanes. For decades, UF researchers have deployed mobile weather stations. Now, Phillips describes the newly designed Sentinel weather station. The 33 feet tall tower, anchored 20 feet into the shoreline, can withstand a Category 5 hurricane, including 16-foot surge and breaking waves. During Hurricane Helene, the Sentinel gathered data on wind speeds, surge, and the water's chemical and biological constituency.

University of Florida engineer Brian Phillips describes the procedure for installing the Sentinel mobile weather station directly on the beach. Assembly starts with drilling a 20-foot auger hole. Once the foundation is secure, the team raises the 33-foot carbon-steel-fiber mast, fully instrumented. The setup resists wind and wave impacts. During the hurricane, the station sends data in real time to servers at University of Florida. This year, the team deployed the Sentinel during Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Thanks to NSF MRI funding, the team will continue improving the design and build several more Sentinels.

Georgia Recorder columnist Jay Bookman reminded readers the many and varied ways Donald Trump injected pettiness into federal disaster response efforts while President. The headline: "Trump's lie that Biden didn't offer Georgia storm relief a disastrous pattern." Because it's so difficult to keep up with the sheer volume of things we ought remember about his presidency, it was a necessary reminder. Also "all accusations are confessions" with him. These lies - and this cultural phenomenon of generating and circulating unbelievable (literally to anyone grounded in reality) distortions or lies, are hindering relief efforts and - according to the Washington Post - stirring up anti-FEMA militarism. "One user suggested “a militia to go against FEMA,” in a post that had received more than half a million views as of Saturday afternoon," per that piece. Asheville resident and digital creator Mark Huneycutt set off (mostly by foot) to Chimney Rock, NC, to see for himself what's reality vs fiction, and shared his findings in a riveting 20-minute YouTube video. In it, many of the "myths" circulating through social media are - surprise - dispelled. Having lived in Louisiana before during and after Hurricane Katrina, it's not lost on me where Trump is getting his inspiration to spew these falsehoods. This is just yet another scenario where his lies are not only endangering lives, but could prove to be deadly. __________________________ CONTRIBUTE TO THE SHOW

This phenomenon arises from several interconnected factors that are altering the behavior of these powerful storms. Warmer Ocean Temperatures One of the primary drivers of increased hurricane intensity is the rising temperature of ocean waters. As the Gulf of Mexico and other bodies of water warm due to climate change, they provide more energy to hurricanes. This additional heat results in greater evaporation, allowing the clouds associated with hurricanes to hold more moisture. Consequently, even hurricanes classified as Category 1 can produce an unexpected amount of rainfall, leading to severe flooding. Rapid Intensification The recent episode discusses Hurricane Helen, which rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 4 storm. This rapid escalation is becoming more common as climate change continues to warm ocean waters. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale categorizes hurricanes based on wind speed, but the sheer size and moisture content of the storm are equally important. The increased size of storms means they can affect larger areas, resulting in widespread damage and flooding. Increased Rainfall and Flooding With hurricanes holding more water, the amount of rainfall associated with these storms has also increased. This is particularly concerning for areas that may lack the infrastructure to handle such heavy rainfall. The episode highlights that even a Category 1 hurricane can lead to significant flooding if it brings more rain than expected. The combination of heavy rainfall and storm surge can overwhelm drainage systems, resulting in catastrophic flooding in residential areas. Vulnerable Infrastructure Many coastal regions have infrastructure that is not designed to cope with the increased rainfall and flooding associated with more intense hurricanes. As mentioned in the episode, areas like Florida are particularly vulnerable, with many homes and communities at risk of being inundated. The episode also notes that past storms have influenced people's decisions about evacuation, leading some to underestimate the risks associated with hurricanes. The Role of Policy and Action The episode emphasizes the urgent need for political action to address climate change and its impacts on hurricanes. It points out that some politicians are not taking the necessary steps to mitigate climate change, ultimately affecting the safety and well-being of their constituents. The call to action is clear: voters must hold their leaders accountable and advocate for policies that address climate change to reduce the risks associated with future hurricanes. Conclusion In summary, climate change is a significant factor contributing to the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes. The warming of ocean waters leads to more powerful storms that can produce severe flooding and damage. As communities confront the realities of these intensified storms, it is crucial to advocate for effective climate policies and infrastructure improvements to protect lives and property in the future. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a widely recognized system that categorizes hurricanes from 1 to 5 based on their sustained wind speeds. This scale helps communicate the potential damage a hurricane can cause, with Category 1 representing the least severe winds (74 to 95 mph) and Category 5 indicating catastrophic winds of 157 mph or higher. However, while this scale focuses primarily on wind speed, it is essential to understand that the amount of rainfall and the resulting flooding can be significant even in lower categories. In a recent episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discussed Hurricane Helen, which rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 4 hurricane. This rapid escalation in intensity not only increased wind speeds but also contributed to a substantial increase in rainfall. The podcast highlighted that the warming waters of the Gulf of Mexico allow hurricane clouds to hold more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall during storms. This phenomenon means that even a Category 1 hurricane can produce unexpected and dangerous amounts of rain, resulting in severe flooding. For instance, Lewin pointed out that many residents may underestimate the risks associated with a Category 1 hurricane, believing it to be manageable based on past experiences. However, the increased capacity of clouds to hold moisture due to climate change can lead to flooding that overwhelms local infrastructure, which is often not designed to handle such extreme rainfall. This was evident in the aftermath of Hurricane Helen, where significant flooding occurred even as the storm was initially categorized as a lower-level hurricane. Moreover, the podcast emphasized that the combination of storm surge and heavy rainfall can create a perfect storm for flooding. Storm surge refers to the rise in water level caused by the hurricane's winds pushing water toward the shore, and when this is compounded by heavy rainfall, the results can be devastating. Lewin shared examples of homes being flooded and even floating away, illustrating the dire consequences of underestimating a storm's potential based on its wind category alone. In conclusion, while the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale provides a useful framework for understanding hurricane intensity, it is essential to consider the broader impacts of hurricanes, particularly in terms of rainfall and flooding. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns, the risks associated with hurricanes—regardless of their category—are likely to increase, making it vital for communities to prepare for the potential for significant flooding even from lower-category storms.

Hurricane Helene is expected to be a powerful storm when it makes landfall on the Florida coast. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Executive Director of the FL Division of Emergency Management Kevin Guthrie discusses concerns for the Tampa Bay area, Tallahassee, and the state's response to Hurricane Helene.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports Hurricane Francine could bring storm surge and flooding to Louisiana's coast.

(AURN News) — As Hurricane Francine barrels toward the northern Gulf Coast, residents and officials in Louisiana and Mississippi are preparing for its imminent arrival. The category one hurricane, currently churning in the Gulf of Mexico, is expected to make landfall later today, bringing with it a host of life-threatening conditions, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters are particularly concerned about the storm surge, which threatens to inundate coastal areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. Hurricane warnings blanket much of the Louisiana coast, with tropical storm warnings extending further inland. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts that tropical storm conditions will begin to affect the area as early as Wednesday morning, with hurricane-force winds following close behind. “An elongated area of low pressure located over the central tropical Atlantic continues to produce some disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for some slight development during the next day or two while the system moves westward at 5 to 10 mph over the central tropical Atlantic,” The National Hurricane Center posted on Facebook. As Francine approaches, it's not just wind and storm surge that have officials worried. The storm is expected to dump significant amounts of rain across a wide swath of the southeastern United States. Flash flood watches are in effect for the Lower Tennessee Valley and the Lower Mississippi Valley. Hurricane hunter aircraft were dispatched Wednesday morning to gather crucial data about Francine.

Pastor Garry Clark continues his series called, IMMINENT STORM! The Anti-Christ is the one that will usher in the final days of man, so this week we look at: STORM SURGE!

After Hurricane Camille caused widespread death and destruction along the US Gulf Coast in 1969, two scientists created the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale as a way to quickly warn the public when dangerous storms were on the way. Today, we're still using the scale and its system of ranking storms as Categories 1 to 5. But in the 55 years since the scale was created, hurricanes have become more frequent, and they have gotten bigger, faster, more devastating. There's now debate among meteorologists about whether the scale is obsolete, and it may be time for something new.Category 6

Where are the tensions in the climate science community driving research and real-world policy impact? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Professor Adam Sobel, Columbia University, about what the tropics and wet bulb temperature mean in the context of climate change; how to think about the trade-offs between the applied and theoretical sides of science; and why we need to rethink the social responsibility of climate scientists. Adam Sobel is Professor at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Engineering School. He studies the dynamics of climate and weather phenomena, particularly in the tropics. In recent years he has become particularly interested in understanding the risks to human society from extreme weather events and climate change. He is author or co-author of over 150 peer-reviewed scientific articles; Storm Surge, a book about Hurricane Sandy; and numerous op-eds. He is also host of the Deep Convection podcast.
