A lot of bad info out of there… a “rare planetary alignment” won’t be visible tonight (Saturday). Jupiter and the almost full moon will look nice this evening. ⭐️ 🌖

#Hurricane #Melissa has made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 hurricane with max winds of 185 mph. Melissa breaks the old strongest Jamaican hurricane landfall record set by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 (130 mph winds).

#Hurricane #Melissa has made landfall in Jamaica with max winds of 185 mph - the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall since Dorian (2019). Dorian also made landfall with 185 mph winds when it hit Abaco Island in The Bahamas.

Melissa rises to third strongest Atlantic storm on record by central pressure, reaching 892 hPa.
With winds of 185 mph, the storm is just 5 mph shy of the Atlantic wind record.

Here’s all eleven Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes since 2016 — the most ever recorded in a 9-year timeframe in our database (since 1851).
A remarkable period of recent intense activity, especially considering the Atlantic saw no Category 5 hurricanes from 2008-2015.

I've shared this map many times over the years, and unfortunately it still holds true. #FlashFloodAlley

Bumpy ride into Hurricane #Milton on @NOAA WP-3D Orion #NOAA43 "Miss Piggy" to collect data to help improve the forecast and support hurricane research.

I understand the frustration with slow responses for these tiny Appalachian towns. This is a main thoroughfare connecting Damascus, Va to 5 other towns, and the North Carolina line.
It’s just gone. Every route is like this in some way, shape or form.
JUST IN: Flash flood warning for much of Muscogee County and western Chattahoochee County. Many spots within the warned area, including Columbus, Fort Moore and Benning Hills have received 2 to 3 inches. Additional rain is possible in spots over the next few hours. #wtvmwx
