"With #Helene we are likely to break records for surge/ water levels. Larger surge is predicted vs #Idalia. So take it seriously. Here are the high water marks vs what is forecast. Keep in mind the forecast is +- 2 feet from the mid-range forecast number listed."
-J Berardelli
FWIW, this is looking suspicious like Tropical Cyclone #Idalia ( Aug2023) which hit coast near #Tallahassee like a dump truck of water.
Thankfully, IN97L is NOT as well organized as Idalia was.
#Hurricane Season ends today for the North Atlantic. Despite an El Niño developing we finish off with 20 named storms, making this the 4th most active season on record (tied with 1933).
Strongest landfall: Hurricane #Idalia (Cat 3).
Strongest storm: Hurricane #Lee (Cat 5).
184 days until the start of the 2024 Hurricane Season.

Rep #RalphNorman (R), whose state was also inundated by #flooding from #Idalia, told reporters yesterday that it would be “unacceptable” to pass a #stopgap #funding bill that doesn’t offer these #concessions….
“It’s time to fight,” Norman said. “If it shuts the government down, shut it down.”

#FloridaRepublicans walk fine line on #DisasterAid, as #shutdown looms
#HouseRepublicans from #Florida, which was hit by a major #hurricane last month, are attempting a delicate balancing act on #DisasterRelief funding.
FL Rs say they support additional disaster aid to help their state recover from Hurricane #Idalia….
(but) they won’t vote for disaster aid linked to #Ukraine funding.
