Hurricane Idalia

Unread post by BeaconHill »

Looks like Idalia is getting organised and will start to rapidly intensify.
Early Thursday morning NZT looks to be landfall time.
Will be interesting to see exact time of arrival vs high tide, as it will be a full moon, and I have seen pics on X showing surface flooding from the already high tides BEFORE any storm surge arrives.

I feel like it’s going to hit those coastal Florida waters and go berserk.

It's been downgraded now to a tropical storm because of global warming :rolleyes:
