Gemma Handy writes about hurricane season fears and the lack of home insurance in islands like Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, and Jamaica. Handy reports from St Johns, Antigua for BBC News. For some Barbudans, thunderstorms still trigger flashbacks of the night in September 2017 when they lost everything they owned to Hurricane Irma’s devastating winds. […]| Repeating Islands
Limited rainfall brought drought back last month, while our temperatures were mostly typical for the first month of fall. Last month had a quiet start but a busy end in the tropics, as we discuss in our hurricane season update.

While we should be prepared for when a disaster hits, we rarely are. I wrote this a few years ago when Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas (2019) as a Category 5 storm before making landfall on the Florida coast and causing quite a mess there. Then we had Hurricane Helene (September 2024), a Category 4... The post Things to Stock Up On Before a Hurricane appeared first on Food Storage Moms.| Food Storage Moms

When a category three hurricane hits Miami Beach, it uncovers a body buried at the renowned Moroccan Hotel. The body is identified as the man who served as the hotel’s bell captain sixty years ago…and the presumed culprit of the million-dollar jewel heist that took place just before his disappearance. Since the bell captain clearlyContinue reading "Hurricane Heist by James Ponti"| Trigger Warning Database

The world of government information continues to be in a state of topsy-turviness.

Due to Hurricane Helene, the National Centers for Environmental Information’s data center in Asheville is currently shut down.

Torrential rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Helene capped off three days of extreme, unrelenting precipitation, which left catastrophic flooding and unimaginable damage in our Mountains and southern Foothills. It was close to a worst-case scenario for western North Carolina as seemingly limitless tropical moisture, enhanced by interactions with the high terrain, yielded some of| North Carolina State Climate Office

Atlantic hurricane season officially began recently, kicking off a disaster season that will run from June 1 through November 30. According to predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2023 hurricane season will consist of 12 to 17 named storms, five to nine hurricanes and one to four major hurricanes. This falls into a fairly average range, but “average” is a bit unusual under the conditions currently emerging around the season.| Risk Management Monitor
