Preliminary data continues to be assessed at NWS Mobile, seeing a distinct corridor of enhanced winds (80–110+ mph) WEST of where Hurricane Isaias made landfall. Data review and quality control will continue, with a final post-storm assessment expected in the coming days.
As of 0200Z, 4 StickNets have clocked 3-second gusts over 100 mph in #Isaias! Platforms 217, 218, 325 & 326 all hit triple digits, and 9 total topped 84 mph. @NWSMobile @NWSTallahassee @NHC_Atlantic #flwx #alwx

The Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane #Helene (September 24-27, 2024) has been posted on the NHC website. Helene made landfall in the Florida Big Bend region as a Category 4 Hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). The storm brought historic catastrophic inland flooding and landslides, extreme winds, deadly storm surge, and numerous tornadoes that devastated portions of the southeastern United States and southern Appalachians. Helene was the deadliest hurricane for the contiguous U.S. since Katrina in 2005, with at least 248 fatalities (including at least 175 direct deaths), and produced an estimated $78.7 billion in damage in the United States.
