According to NHC in its final report on Hurricane Helene, of the 176 direct fatalities caused by the storm, 95 of them were due to freshwater flooding With the latest report of 105 killed in Texas, this event is now a deadlier flood event than Helene An absolute tragedy

A classic Southeast U.S. winter tornado outbreak is expected today Numerous severe storms will likely produce multiple tornadoes, some of which will be strong and long-tracked. EF-3 or even violent EF-4 tornadoes are on the table A dangerous day ahead

Wow! 20" of snow in New Jersey! This may have broken the New Jersey state record for most snow from a single November storm. The current record, 17.5" in Dover, NJ on Nov 26-26, 1938 came during a Nor'easter that buried the entire I-95 corridor with snow

Mother nature is doing its part to help smother the Jennings Creek Fire, the 5,000+ acre fire that has killed one firefighter and sent periods of smoke directly into NYC the past few weeks Over 7" of snow is being reported in the area around the fire so far with more on the way

Important caveat: ERA5 is the standard reanalysis used for past weather, but can occasionally have some discrepancies. A previous bomb cyclone in a similar location in October 2021 reached 942 hPa per WPC analysis, but was noticeably weaker in ERA5 reanalysis (h/t @gdimeweather.bsky.social):

On the other side of the World, something pretty incredible is happening in the tropics. The Philippines are about to get hit with their 4th typhoon...IN 8 DAYS November 7...Yingzing November 11...Toraji November 14...Usagi Tomorrow (Nov 16)... Man-yi

A major winter storm, severe storms within a Tornado Watch and a legitimate hurricane all ongoing simultaneously is not something that happens every day Pretty wild to see them all together on one map
