    It really doesn't get much more real than this. 140mph Hurricane #Laura will make landfall after dark likely near Cameron, LA. If you are in Beaumont or Port Arthur, TX go west. If you are in Cameron or Lake Charles, LA go east. Go now.

    #Tampa listen up. If the forecast holds, #Milton would be a hurricane that nobody on the west coast of #Florida has ever experienced. Massive storm surge & extreme winds. The threat to life & property is immense. You have a couple of short days to prepare & evacuate if needed.

    Quick update *TORCON NOW 9* for Saturday. Please be aware of the risk and the timing for your area and have plans to be in a safe shelter. A mobile home is NOT a safe shelter. Please make plans ahead of time to be in a sturdier building.

    This is what Hurricane #Lee has transformed into in the last 24 hours. Incredible intensification into a cat 5.

    The storm shown here is Hurricane Jova, not Hurricane Lee. Infrared imagery for Jova (tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.…) does not match up with infrared imagery for Lee (tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.…).

    My crew here in Apalachicola has decided to leave. We feel confident in the building we’re staying in is strong but not confident that US 98 will be in tact and an escape route for us after the hurricane. Better safe than sorry. #Michael

    20 years ago today I walked through the doors of @weatherchannel for my first day of work. It’s been a life-changing moment covering countless storms. All of my colleagues are truly world class & their friendship invaluable. Thanks for watching everyone!

    Joplyn is such a calming influence tonight. She has not left my side since I came home. I think she sensed I needed some lovin.
