Hurricane #Idalia made landfall on Florida's Big Bend this morning. This view via #GOESEast IR imagery. Rapid intensification was reminiscent of Hurricane Ian one year ago, and in fact, maximum sustained winds were near 125 mph (205 km/h) just below Category 4 at landfall. #FLwx twitter.com/UWCIMSS/status/1…

The future is…

...rich with solutions not yet discovered.

Solutions to technical problems can be found in plants, animals, and microbes – if we don’t destroy them before they’re recognized.

Hurricane intensity is measured by windspeed, but water is often the biggest threat #Idalia poses a risk of catastrophic storm surge of 12 feet (3.7 m) to 16 feet (4.9 meters) above ground level.
That's HUGE: hurricanes.gov #EarlyWarningsForAll
