Post event recap – Named Storms Helene and Milton – 2024.

The aftermath of both catastrophic storms includes death and destruction at levels not seen in well over 100 years or more.

Cleanup efforts from both storms will be on-going for a very long time and authorities are saying that victims are still missing and may never be located.

The damage estimates have not been released as yet but these two storms may set records in that regard.

Please keep the victims and all persons affected by these storms in thought and prayer and if you can make a donation to your favorite ‘National Help Agency’, please do so because their resources are all running low.

Thank you.

Named Storm Milton formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico from a low pressure area. This storm is moving east northeast and will be intensifying. This storm system is forecast to reach the central Gulf Coast of Florida on Wednesday, October 9 and crossing Florida into Thursday, October 10. Persons along the entire Gulf Coast of Florida should be monitoring this storm very carefully. As of this time, NHC projections are leaning toward possibly a Category 3 or 4 Hurricane as it makes landfall. That may be modified as the storm moves across the Gulf of Mexico.

Persons along the Gulf Coast of Florida can expect storm surge, very heavy rain, high wave action, coastal lowlands flooding, strong and gusty winds, beach erosion, rip currents, significant power outages and some tornadoes. This will be a dangerous storm, crossing Florida near the same areas that have been affected by Hurricane Helene. Trees weakened by Helene may come down as Milton crosses Florida.

Named Storm Helene -2024 made Florida landfall east of Apalachicola, near Perry, Florida, as a Category 4 Major Hurricane. There were storm surges along the Gulf coast of Florida of up to 20 feet with 16 to 20 foot waves above that.

After landfall, the storm slowly weakened to a Category 1 and tracked north – northeast through northern Florida and most of Georgia, with significant rains felt in the Carolinas, Tennessee and part of Virginia. Catastrophic flooding has taken place in many of these areas and this storm has been responsible for many deaths. Damage analysis will be released by the National Hurricane Center and FEMA sometime soon.

As this recap is being published, the effects of this storm are still being felt along the east coast of the USA.

We are also just mentioning Named Storm Joyce – 2024 in the central Atlantic. It is a weak storm and will not be affecting the USA, so this will be our only mention of ‘Joyce’.

EARLY UNOFFICIAL ADVISORY: Invest -97L is gathering some organization in the northwest Caribbean. This area of storminess may intensify into Named Storm Helene early this week. International forecast models are not in full agreement at this time, but persons along the eastern, northeastern and northern Gulf of Mexico should be monitoring this situation carefully. Some models from international sources are projecting this storm to reach major hurricane strength before landfall along the Panhandle of Florida later this week. However, this projection could change as the storm moves north and is influenced by other weather systems.

Persons along the Gulf Coast of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, southern Georgia and far eastern Texas may be affected by this storminess as it gains strength and moves north.

Tropical Depression # 8 – 2024 formed rapidly off the coast of the Carolina’s from a low pressure area. Since this storm is so close to the coast, it may not have time to develop into a Tropical Storm. This storm system will be coming ashore near the North Carolina/South Carolina border area Monday, September 16, and will track inland almost due north. Persons in the Carolina’s can expect heavy rain, lowlands flooding, gusty winds, possible tornadoes, some power outages and minor coastal storm surge.

We are posting this information due to it’s close proximity to the coast and limited time for residents to prepare.

Named Storm Gordon – 2024 formed in the central tropical Atlantic from a low pressure wave. This storm will probably make Hurricane strength over the next few days, but the steering currents in that part of the Atlantic will move the storm system generally northwest and then north into the North Atlantic. Since Named Storm Gordon will not be directly affecting the US, this may be our only mention of this storm system.
