(1) #HWstormwatch update 5.30pm EDT Thursday.
#Wilfred will likely be the name of the storm currently brewing in the Gulf. NHC says it will move NNE, which is bad news for the US Gulf coast.
#Alpha will probably be the name of the orange storm below. Future track uncertain.
(2) Post tropical storm #Sally still has a few more days of heavy rain for the Carolinas, Virginia and maybe other states. Flooding in AL and FL will take a while to go away. Please keep these & #Laura folk in your prayers, and donate if you can.
#Vicky is remnants now.
(3) Weatherfolk and Democrats are trying to talk up the danger from an above-average hurricane season but always do your own fact checking, esp. when someone is trying to provoke fear.
Most recent Atlantic storms were never a threat to the US. Numbers tell only half the story.
(4) Amazingly, only two reported deaths so far from hurricane #Sally, one in AL, the other in GA. Credit to everyone who contributed to a low death toll, especially first responders, military, and charities.
At least 12 of 72 #Laura deaths were from unsafe generator use.
(5) Hurricane #Teddy is currently forecast to hit the Atlantic coast of Canada, not the US.
The only current new hurricane threat to the US is from the developing storm in the Gulf. Please monitor it as things can rapidly change there.
(6) A more reassuring prediction for this storm in terms of risk to the US. #TD22
