🌌 Geomagnetic Storm Warning: Potential Northern Lights Tonight! 🌌 A powerful solar flare from the Sun’s active regions 3872 and 3873 has directed a burst of charged particles toward Earth, prompting NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center to issue a Geomagnetic Storm Warning. Moderate (G2) storm levels are expected through Monday, which could create aurora displays visible across northern U.S. skies from the Northeast to the Pacific Northwest. 🌧️ Weather Advisory: Cloud cover may affect visibility in parts of the Pacific Northwest, but for areas with clear skies, the Northern Lights might be visible tonight. 🌞 Solar Cycle Update: The Sun is currently in its peak activity phase, with solar maximum expected to continue through 2025. Elevated solar activity can impact Earth’s magnetic field and has potential effects on satellite and communication systems. Stay informed and keep watching the skies! #GeomagneticStorm #NorthernLights #SolarFlare #GBDRRRF

🌧️ Tropical Storm Trami Wreaks Havoc in the Philippines, Leaving at Least 26 Dead Tropical Storm Trami, also known as severe tropical storm Kristine, has tragically claimed at least 26 lives and forced over 150,000 people to evacuate their homes in the Philippines. Making landfall in Divilacan, Isabela province, Trami is currently moving westward across Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 95 kph (59 mph). The storm has unleashed heavy to torrential rain, leading to widespread flooding and landslides, especially in the central Bicol region, where 14 fatalities have been reported. Authorities are warning of more heavy rainfall, flooding, and storm surges in northern provinces. To ensure safety, the government has ordered the closure of businesses and schools in affected areas, while over 163,000 individuals are currently sheltering in evacuation centers. The storm has also resulted in the cancellation of at least a dozen flights and disrupted foreign exchange trading for the central bank. The Philippines typically experiences around 20 tropical storms annually, often bringing heavy rains and devastating landslides. Stay safe and informed as the situation develops! 🙏💙 More news on Facebook: https://lnkd.in/gXWVySwj #TropicalStormTrami #Trami #SevereTropicalStorm #Kristine #Philippines #NaturalDisaster #Flooding #Landslides #Evacuation #SafetyFirst #WeatherUpdate #EmergencyResponse #ClimateImpact #DisasterRelief #HumanitarianAid #BicolRegion #Isabela #StaySafe #StormWatch #communitysupport

The IMF notes a significant disconnect between heightened geopolitical risks and low financial market volatility. While geopolitical tensions have increased, reflected in measures of risk, financial markets have remained surprisingly calm, with volatility indices staying low. Key Insights: Geopolitical Risks: Events like conflicts and trade tensions have raised uncertainty in global markets. Low Market Volatility: Despite these risks, financial markets have not shown the expected reaction, suggesting investor confidence may be high or influenced by central bank policies. Implications: This disconnect could lead to underestimating risks, potentially resulting in sudden market corrections if volatility increases unexpectedly. Investors and policymakers need to remain vigilant to navigate this landscape effectively. #economy #markets #InternationalMonetaryFund #Volatility #imfannualmeeting #WorldBank #GlobalBank #RonNechemia

🌊 Chimney Rock Faces Long Road to Recovery After Hurricane Helene's Historic Flooding Chimney Rock, North Carolina, is working hard to rebuild after Hurricane Helene’s devastating floods reshaped the community. With 1 to 2 feet of rain causing the Broad River to surge, homes, businesses, and roads along Main Street were destroyed. Volunteers from City Serve are on the ground helping with debris removal and mold treatment, but local business owners like April Schick are facing a long recovery ahead. The North Carolina Department of Transportation reports over 7,300 damaged sites, with restoration costs estimated in the billions. Recovery will take time, but the community's resilience shines through. 🌧️🌊💪 #HurricaneHelene #ChimneyRock #FloodRecovery #CommunityResilience #RebuildTogether #WNCStrong #VolunteerSupport #DisasterRelief Note: Photos courtesy of Getty

💸 Counting the Cost: The Economic Impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton — And Who Bears the Burden 🌪️ The 2024 hurricane season is shaping up to be one of the most expensive in history, with Hurricanes Helene and Milton each causing an estimated $50 billion in damages. This trend underscores a broader issue: hurricanes have become more costly over the past three decades, driven by climate change and increased coastal development. Notably, Hurricane Andrew was the first storm to surpass $50 billion in damages in 1992, and storms like Harvey in 2017 and Katrina in 2005 have further illustrated the escalating financial burden, with Harvey causing $125 billion in losses alone. Hurricanes have caused over $1.3 trillion in damage since 1980, making them the most expensive weather disasters in the U.S. These costs don’t just impact immediate recovery efforts—they also disrupt supply chains, reduce consumer spending, and slow GDP growth. As climate change leads to warmer waters and intensifies storms, the financial toll is expected to grow. A critical gap in recovery preparedness lies in insurance coverage. Despite the risks, only 6% of U.S. homeowners have flood insurance, the largest insurance gap in the country. This leaves many vulnerable to water damage, especially in areas where natural disasters are less frequent. Wind damage, typically covered by standard policies, may also be excluded in high-risk coastal zones, further complicating recovery efforts. The financial responsibility for rebuilding and recovery often falls on state and local governments, with federal assistance through FEMA grants coming later. Taxpayers are increasingly bearing the cost of cleanup and infrastructure restoration as insurance companies struggle to keep pace with the rising risks. The combination of underinsurance, increasing storm intensity, and expanding coastal development signals a growing financial crisis that demands attention and action. As the 2024 season unfolds, the need for a more robust and equitable approach to hurricane preparedness, insurance coverage, and climate adaptation is clear. Without significant policy shifts, the economic impacts of hurricanes will continue to escalate, affecting not only those in direct storm paths but the broader economy as well. #HurricaneSeason2024 #ClimateCrisis #DisasterRecovery #HurricanePreparedness #FloodInsurance #StormDamage #ExtremeWeather #ClimateResilience #InsuranceGap #PropertyDamage #FEMARecovery #CoastalDevelopment #NaturalDisasterRelief #RisingHurricaneCosts #GlobalWarming #SupplyChainDisruption #RebuildStronger #CoastalProtection #EconomicImpact #ClimateAdaptation * ll Photos Credit: Getty
