NHC has completed its post-analysis and Tropical Cyclone Report for Tropical Storm #Chantal (July 4-7, 2025). Chantal was the only tropical cyclone to make landfall in the United States last year, moving inland over northeastern SC. Chantal was responsible for 6 direct fatalities in NC, mostly from freshwater flooding. The report is available at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL032025_Chantal.pdf https://x.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/2019046576828621001

A park ranger and student? volunteer? passed behind me and I got to talk to them a bit - they mentioned this was the first controlled burn in that part of the park they've done (it's been closed off since #chantal giving park staff a rare opportunity to do this without impacting visitors)

He mentioned he was looking forward to see how the forest responds.

I said "me too."

I remembered to get a panorama. It was the perfect spot on the river for it. #durham #eno #enoriver

On this morning's walk with #chaosaussiesauce - I noticed that the trout lilies are already emerging ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythronium_americanum )

This seems inordinately early. I really hope this isn't some sort of omen for how hot it's going to get this year.

(This is wooded river land that was flooded by #chantal which scraped off quite a bit of soil - and maybe that helps account for the early start)

#chaosaussiesauce and I got out to #eno state park today for the first hike of the year. It was the first time we've been that the upper part of the Holden Mill trail wasn't blocked off since tropical storm #chantal closed the park last July.

We got a weeeee bit off the upper trail - because I haven't seen this fellow since last June, a young pine tree growing directly out of one of the more interesting outcrops along the river.

In 'Scam Alert: Trap Er Niet In' staan deze week Chantal en Wesley centraal. Hun leven verandert volledig wanneer ze slachtoffer worden van identiteitsfraude. Wat begint met een vreemd Facebook-bericht groeit in korte tijd uit tot een digitale terreur die hun gezin, bedrijf en gevoel van veiligheid compleet verwoest.

Chantal werd jarenlang dagelijks mishandeld door haar vriend: 'Hij dreigde m'n ouders te vermoorden'

In deze wekelijkse rubriek vertellen mensen over iets dat zij 'nooit meer' willen meemaken, nooit meer willen doen of juist nooit meer willen laten. Deze week: toen de eerste klap viel, hoopte Chantal (30) dat het eenmalig was. Maar het ging van kwaad tot erger. Vijf jaar lang werd ze dagelijks mishandeld door haar ex. "Ik was doodsbang wat Ferry zou doen als ik zou opstappen."

A fast ride down the eastern 2/3 of the #BolinCreekTrail. This was my first time out on the trail since July 6th (when #Chantal hit). I used it several times a week before the storm, so am thrilled to see it open again. urbanists.video/w/oLraC6NsN1...

It's been 4 months *to the day* since Tropical Storm #Chantal damaged a key non-car transportation corridor in #ChapelHillNC. Yesterday, temporary repairs on #BolinCreekTrail were finished and it's open for business!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was super fortunate to attend the Chantal Kreviazuk concert at the Almonte Town Hall last night as part of The Festival of Small Halls. Great show at such an intimate venue.

First time I saw her live was opening for the Bare Naked Ladies in 2001 at Ottawa. #LiveMusic #Chantal #Almonte

WAIT...does this mean we might get temporary fixes to our main bike/ped corridors in as little as two weeks?? THIS WOULD BE INCREDIBLY GOOD!!! #ChapelHillNC #Chantal Hey @triangleblogblog.bsky.social can y'all investigate? content.govdelivery.com/accounts/NCC...
