Crossposting to ask: has anyone ever seen this before? I've not once in my life seen tropical storm warnings in Virginia. Granted, i'm new to tracking severe weather, but it's not like I've never watched it before then.

Extremely unusual, especially for something landfalling in Florida. This storm is just THAT big.

Hurricane Helene is now a Category 3 with winds of 120 mph. I think it could reach Category 4.

Look at the absolute monstrous size of this beast. Still many hours away from landfall and most of west Florida is experiencing tropical storm winds.
 
Reading this YouTube live chat is actually quite jarring. Ryan Hall, Y'all covers these sort of severe events and he does a decent job at updating people and interpreting live data.

There are people asking in the chat "Should I take shelter? I'm from X area". Some of these dunces are in real danger and just typing to the void because of course someone with 100k+ live viewers is not going to respond. Not to mention the endless self doxing.

Ah, Darwin in action. This storm and its likely intensity were talked up for days. How the fuck do you miss any of it? "durr hey guys the waves are at my house 10 miles inland should I leave?"

NOAA told these retards they needed bug out 24 hours ago. If they decided to ride it out their fate is theirs. Nobody is coming to help.
 
Great timing for another hurricane to start forming in the gulf, eh?

The depression is moving north-northeastward or 025/3 kt. The
system is forecast to drift northeastward or east-northeastward
during the next day or so. After that time, a trough moving
southward over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico is expected to cause
the system to turn east-northeastward to northeastward at a
slightly faster forward speed. By Tuesday the cyclone is expected
to move northeastward at an increasingly faster forward speed and
this track will bring the system across the west coast of the
Florida Peninsula by midweek.

At least it isn't heading for the panhandle. It doesn't seem to be very strong, either, but I'm remaining cautious regardless.

EDIT: I need to work on my reading comprehension :(
The depression is within a favorable environment of low vertical
wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures. These conditions are
expected to allow for steady to rapid strengthening over the next
few days. The intensification is likely to be slower during the
next 12 to 24 hours until an inner core can become established, but
after that time a faster rate of strengthening is anticipated.

hopefully it doesn't get too bad. Stay safe, kiwis.

In other Atlantic hurricane news, Kirk is forecast to move east, weaken, and lose tropical characteristics. It'll make landfall at storm force in Brittany, France Wednesday morning

Meanwhile, it's still too far out to really say, but it appears by Thursday morning Hurricane Leslie will have weakened to a tropical storm and will eventually make landfall somewhere between the North/South Carolina line and the Delmarva Peninsula

It's not gonna reach North Carolina, I think he meant in terms of latitude but not longitude.

Oh, hopefully. Regardless, the further any rain stays away from the Carolinas, the better.

Yeah right now you can only project from the end of the cone so it's a broad area that might get hit. Just going off the line puts it at the NC/VA line but again, still too early

This thing's gonna be a monster. Might landfall in Tampa according to the current center of the path.

Milton is currently a Category 3 with winds of 125 mph. It's expected to peak out at 155 mph, bordering on Category 5. It's expected to make landfall near Tampa at Category 3 or Category 2.

MILTON IS A HIGH END CATEGORY 4 WITH WINDS OF 150 MPH.
