Extreme video out of Grand Isle Louisiana as Hurricane Ida makes landfall. 150+mph wind gust reported and catastrophic storm surge is occurring.
This video was just before the surge cam was taken down, whole island likely underwater.

Residents of Port Fourchon and other low-lying coastal areas had been advised to evacuate several days ago. 40 Pics Showing How Texas Is Dealing With The Coldest Weather In Over 30 Years.

Tropical Depression Cristobal Could Make Lake Superior Landfall. This has been the year of murder hornets, massive locust invasions on two continents, and a sudden start to Atlantic hurricane season, among other oddities (not to mention the deadly pandemic).
So perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that Lake Superior is set to see its first post-tropical cyclone ever recorded, and yet here we are. Tropical Depression Cristobal is currently churning over the Midwest after bringing torrential rain and storm surge to the Gulf Coast. It’s in the process of becoming subtropical but is expected to maintain its swirling characteristics and make landfall on Lake Superior (or is it lakefall?). While the lake is no stranger to massive storms and powerful gales, it’s never experienced one like Cristobal. The National Hurricane Center stopped issuing forecasts for Cristobal early on Tuesday morning, and it issued its final forecast map on Monday. 30 Pics Showing How Canadians Are Dealing With An Unprecedented Blizzard.

Atmospheric Convulsion Will Cause Historic Disasters of Arctic Melt & U.S. Storms Next Week. The atmosphere had a convulsion at the end of April in the transition from winter to summer.
The cold polar vortex in the stratosphere did not go gently into summer. Instead of fading slowly into a dome of warm air the whole atmosphere from the surface to the top of the stratosphere convulsed with wave energy driven upwards by an atmospheric dome over Scandinavia. Extraordinary atmospheric heating took place in the over the pole and cold air was pushed towards the temperate latitudes especially over the Pacific ocean.
A dome of hot sinking air formed at very high levels over the Arctic pushing cold air and the jet stream south causing unseasonable storms to track across the Pacific ocean into California in mid May.

I Woke Up After A Night Of Freezing Rain To Find The Whole City Of Bucharest, Romania, Frozen And Damaged. After a night of freezing rain, I woke up on a crazy and frosty Saturday with the whole city frozen and damaged.
This is a very unusual weather event here so it was really a challenge to walk on the streets without ice skates and hoping that no branch will fall on you. Many cars were unlucky as they were damaged by branches or even the whole trees that fell on them. The roads were also full of trees, branches, and ice, and some of the power cables broke under heavy ice which left many trams unable to function. At night the view was kind of apocalyptic but also interesting; like an icy, end of the world movie.
So I took a walk through my neighborhood looking for some nice shots. More info: andreirauta.ro | Instagram Branches on the road. Hawaiian island erased by powerful hurricane: ‘the loss is a huge blow’ A piece of the United States has been dramatically wiped off the map after an island in Hawaii was washed away by a powerful hurricane.
East Island, a remote spit of gravel and sand that sat atop a coral reef, has vanished after having this misfortune to come into contact with Hurricane Walaka, an intense storm that surged past Hawaii earlier this month. Scientists have confirmed the disappearance of the 11-acre island after comparing satellite images of the surrounding French Frigate Shoals, part of an enormous protected marine area in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands. “I uttered a swear word.

When the National Weather Service announced that Hurricane Harvey had set a new rainfall record for a tropical storm in the continental United States — with 51.88 inches at Cedar Bayou, Texas — that seemed to epitomize just how massive and unprecedented Harvey was. In terms of sheer volume, Harvey’s rainfall could fill the Great Salt Lake twice over. It was Houston’s third 500-year flood in three years, with the potential to register as a 1,000-year event by its conclusion. Flooding after Harvey: How bad is it, how bad will it get, and when will it end? - Washington Post. What's Causing Tropical Storm Harvey's "Unprecedented" Rainfall?

We may never have another coldest year in history. A surge of Arctic air has left much of the continental U.S. shivering in unusually bitter November cold.
But this early foray into winter weather is just a small blip in the overall global picture, which is of a warming world that is still on track to see 2014 set the mark for hottest year on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday. Researchers find ‘biggest volcanic eruption in last 500 years’ devastated Europe’s climate. Scientists have long believed that the 1815 Tambora volcanic eruption could not, alone, have been responsible for the drastic climate change in 1816, nicknamed “Year Without a Summer” and “Eighteen-Hundred-and-Frozen-to-Death.” Weather patterns over Southern Hemisphere have a regular pulse. Variations in rainfall and storm intensity over a broad swath of the Southern Hemisphere follow a pattern that repeats every 20 to 30 days. The pattern is the first regular atmospheric oscillation found outside the tropics and could help scientists forecast weather and climate changes in the region.
