We mourn the passing of Warren M. Washington, a trail-blazing atmospheric scientist whose work in climate modeling at @NCAR_Science beginning in the 1960s proved instrumental to shaping our understanding of climate change.

#Milton is a historic hurricane threat for Florida- 10-15 feet above ground is not a survivable storm surge near the coast. Please take all precautions and put those hurricane plans into action!

UPDATE: The Town of Fort Myers Beach has issued a Mandatory Evacuation for the entire Island. "We encourage residents and business owners to make a plan and be evacuated by 3:00pm, on Monday, October 7, 2024. The Hurricane Re-entry Pass Program will be implemented following Hurricane Milton. If you are not a resident, please do not try to re-enter the Island as this will only make it more difficult for our residents to get back to their homes."

A direct hit on #TampaBay would mean at least 10-15 feet of surge into Tampa Bay. That’s the most in 103 years - or longer. Gives you an idea of how significant the potential is. #Milton @WFLA
Tampa Bay is the most vulnerable city in the US to hurricanes, because of the extensive water front population/ property and a huge bay that funnels surge. A worst case scenario is a landfall north of the mouth of the Bay. Circulation forces water up/ into nooks/ crannies 🧵
