(1) Atlantic Hurricane Season 2018 was slow to start but is in full swing now.

#Florence is expected to become a #hurricane today, & gain strength before landfall in ?NC ?VA

#Isaac, #Helene & two depressions also present.

Time to get ready.gov ⛈️🌪️🌀
(2) At the start, #Florence looked like she would swing around past the Eastern USA, then she changed direction. 😦
(3) Both #Helene and #Isaac are expected to become hurricanes. 😒

(4) One of the most important Twitter accounts to follow if you're in the East, the Gulf, or the Caribbean. @NHC_Atlantic Also bookmark hurricanes.gov

(5) I maintain a Twitter list of several official Emergency Management accounts I follow. twitter.com/GodlessNZ/list…
(6) Oh and, along with these parts of the US atm:
>Atlantic: #Florence #Isaac #Helene
>NW Pacific: #Paul
>Central N Pacific: #Olivia

>Guam has typhoon (cyclone/hurricane) #Mangkhut:
(7) Two reminders from the tweet below.

>Hurricane and storm effects continue far inland with heavy rain and flooding.

>Many rivers in the East are running high as it is, surrounded by already sodden ground.

#Florence

(8) Fortunately there are several days left for people to buy emergency supplies before #Florence. Stores can re-stock. Remember, if bottled water sells out, you can store tap water in containers and treat it.

Good article: weather.com/safety/hurrica…
(9) From the above article. Recovery after hurricane #Irma was challenging in places bc people didn't have enough gas for generators, and chainsaws (to clear trees and restore electricity.)

Prepare for MORE than 3 days on your own before help arrives/power is restored.
(10) #Florence is now a Cat 4 hurricane. SC will have mandatory evacuations. Here's why:

(11) #Florence total rain forecast shows 15-20' in part of VA, and 10-15' elsewhere in VA, WV and NC. My hunch is that the eventual totals will be even higher. This is shaping up to be a massive storm. People will need to stay out of the flood water. #TurnAroundDontDrown
(12) I've added a new Twitter list with the emergency management agencies of ten mid Atlantic states: twitter.com/GodlessNZ/list…

There's also my list of national organizations: twitter.com/GodlessNZ/list…

#Florence is getting big. Guam, Hawaii, and the Gulf are also facing storms.
(13) "**REMINDER: The Saffir-Simpson scale does NOT illustrate damage caused by inland flooding, which poses as a threat from #Florence.** Amounts could be measured by the FOOT! #HurricaneFlorence @weatherchannel" -@TevinWooten
(14) Use #GasBuddy to find stations with gas:

(15) "Expect that services will be disrupted for an extended amount of time. Be ready for:
💡Power/phone service outages
🛣Roads blocked by floodwater &/or debris
🚰Water/sewer outages.
Follow @Readygov for more tips & talk about your emergency plan with family. #Florence" -@FEMA
(16) "Don't concentrate on the exact forecast track of Hurricane #Florence. Significant effects will extend outside the cone, & will arrive at the coast sooner than the eye. For more info about impacts at your specific location, go to weather.gov" -@NJC_Atlantic
(17) If you're outside affected areas, you can help by:

>Donating to trusted nvoad.org charities
>Offering to house evacuees
>Pre-registering with an approved group before volunteering.

Cash is king: Donated goods take up the time of first responders.
(18) If you end up needing rescue from floodwaters, here are some tips:

>Always call 911 instead of using social media.
>Stay on the line. If it's down, try again later.
>Don't go into the attic unless you have an escape route. Water can rise quickly.

#Florence #Olivia
(19) Mobile networks often get overloaded during a major disaster like #Florence so please text instead of calling (unless it's an emergency and you're calling 911.)

Text messages uses less space on the network than calls. They also conserve your phone's battery level.
(20) For Guam, the threat is over. Typhoon #Mangkhut turned away to the North at the last minute.

#Olivia still threatens Hawaii.

postguam.com/news/local/we-…
(21) Ways to piss off HW:
>Tell people the hurricane won't be that bad
>Treat survivors differently based on politics
>Encourage spontaneous donation of goods (that overwhelm responders) instead of cash
>Promote a gofundme (which are often fraudulent)

#Florence
(22) I've already received my first "it won't be that bad" tweet about #Florence.

Here are the #facts about this monster storm, which I need y'all to take seriously.

(23) Good advice from the most trusted source in disaster prepping.

(24) Presidential message ahead of #Florence:

(25) This is the world's best collection of resources to help kids cope before, during and after disasters, emergencies or other critical incidents.

The resources can also help adults cope with these stressors.

#Florence #Isaac #Olivia #Wildfires

(26) Mandatory evacuations have now been ordered for certain coastal areas in Virginia, adding to those already in place in North Carolina and South Carolina. #Florence

If you're in a voluntary evac area, I strongly suggest going early. It's easier.

(27) Twitter lists are great for info sharing around emergency management. Here's a good one:

(28) Starting to see information about #Florence being a particuarly severe hurricane for this region. Tweets by @realDonaldTrump so far have been clear about this. Here's some good analysis:

(29) POTUS:

(1) Live tweeting the swearing in of Justice Kavanaugh, October 6, 2018.

The White House and then the Supreme Court will host the two ceremonies necessary for the Justice to take his seat on Monday.

#ThankYouSenators #GodBlessAmerica #Originalism 🇺🇸👨‍⚖️
(2) Brett M. Kavanaugh will soon be the 102nd Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA. He has earned this highest honor throughout his life, inspired by his trailblazing mother, Judge Martha Kavanaugh.

His title for these few hours is Associate Justice Designate.
(3) This statement from the Supreme Court explains the two ceremonies:

(1) #ConfirmKavanaugh updates thread #3 starting from 10/4/18.

A directory of my 10 Kavanaugh threads, and counting. (I know, I surprise myself sometimes.)

#JudgeKavanaugh will soon be #JusticeKavanaugh and the American Republic will be preserved. 🦅
(2) This WaPo reporter is incorrect about the vote being "scheduled for" Saturday. The earliest time a vote COULD be held is Saturday pm. There's no reason not to hold it on Sun/Mon IF we need Daines. I think we won't. Read my 5 tweets about him here:
(3) An excellent short explainer about the fact that Mitch has the votes:

(1) A directory of my Kavanaugh threads since July 9, 2018.

I never planned more than a couple of threads about him this year but, I shoulda known the Dems would try to destroy whoever was the nominee this time.

Well, he fought back. #AmericanOfTheYear #JusticeKavanaugh 🇺🇸
(2) Like Democrats, I'd already decided how I felt about him before his nomination was announced. I live-tweeted the announcement, which was a great event in itself.

(3) I followed Kavanaugh's progress over the summer and on September 22nd, I finally wrote a thread about the preparations for the all-important hearing on September 27th. It covers the hearing before the next thread started the day after.

(1) #PhotoThread for the #ConfirmKavanaugh process starting 10/3/18.
(2) Mitch laughing to himself about how absurd it is that he has to push his way through the crowd of reporters on 9/25/18.
(3) Sen Grassley is 85 years old. (Democrats have senators around that age, too.)

Today he had to hold onto a Capitol Police officer to reduce the risk of a reporter knocking him over. This has to stop. Senators must return to being able to walk around freely at work.

(2) First Lady Melania Trump is a natural in this important role.

She's one of those women whose face lights up whenever she is around children. God Bless our great First Lady.

👠🇺🇸
(3) FLOTUS left Joint Base Andrews in her trademark high heels and arrived in Ghana wearing practical flats. She still looks sensational, whatever she happens to wear!

(1) Live tweeting the Senate tonight. @SenateMajLdr has to file cloture by a deadline tonight in order to hold the #ConfirmKavanaugh vote Saturday.

Watch the livestream and videos here:

c-span.org/congress/?cham… …
(2) Cloture in the Senate is a procedural step that you can learn more about at the link below. The senate.gov website is the best resource for learning about Senate procedure and a lot more. Same for house.gov.

senate.gov/reference/glos…
(3) Watching live Senate floor proceedings is boring as hell, as they pass bills for naming Post Offices, & so on. But every now & then, they confirm a SCOTUS judge. And this time, they will affirm our great #BillOfRights #DueProcess & the hard-won #RuleOfLaw. Seriously. 🇺🇸🦅
