Twenty-five years ago, everything changed. This is dedicated to the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the lives we lost and continue to lose to World Trade Center–related illnesses. We will never forget.

We are close to the peak of hurricane season 2026, and it is rare that we’ve had ZERO hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin so far. In fact, there are no storms being tracked by the NHC in the Atlantic at this time. A strong El Niño is the culprit. This year may go down as the latest that an Atlantic hurricane forms in the satellite era. “El Niño generally lessens hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean via increased vertical wind shear across the region, making it harder for thunderstorms to organize into hurricanes. On the other hand, El Niño often increases hurricane activity in the eastern and central Pacific basins, as the warmer waters provide more energy, and atmospheric conditions become more favorable for storms to form.” Info: AOML Communications, June 2026 — aoml.noaa.gov/how-does-el-ni…

CATASTROPHIC FLASH #FLOOD in Kountze, Texas after over 20 inches of rainfall from Tropical Storm #Edouard. This is Highway 287 showing an evacuated vehicle. Texas Longhorns struggling in the rising flood waters. Village Creek is expected to reach major flood stage tonight of over 23 feet, worse than the floods of 1969 in this region. BIG problems

BREAKING: Hurricane Lowell is now a Category 5. 160 mph winds. About 445 miles south of Hilo, Hawaii. A day and a half ago this was a tropical storm. It gained 75 mph of wind in a single day. Lowell is only the 8th hurricane on record to reach Category 5 in the Central Pacific. The last one was Walaka in 2018. The forecast keeps it south of Hawaii this week, but the islands get big surf and rip currents over the next few days. We are watching it closely.

From our friends at SAWV ... First responders depend on ATVs and UTVs to accomplish the mission in rough terrain and confined spaces. In situations that require the right tool for the job, many of us know firsthand how critical these vehicles are. Now, economic pressure is threatening to put these vehicles out of reach for many departments. Save America's Working Vehicles is a new coalition working to keep these essential tools affordable for police, fire, and EMS agencies who rely on them. More below + learn more & join the team at SaveWorkingVehicles.org ~ j
First responders rely on ATVs and UTVs to reach emergencies fast — from search and rescue to disaster response. Tariffs on these critical vehicles are driving up costs for already strained agencies. Targeted relief is needed now: bit.ly/4yzdjft

9/2 2:20AM: Dangerous flooding is developing in the Golden Triangle and parts of the Piney Woods as very heavy rains ‘train' over the same areas. This could lead to 5-10+ inches of rain by 5 AM in locations like Livingston, Woodville, and Lumberton, among others. Avoid travel if possible due to the high chance of flooded roads. Be prepared to move to higher ground if you're in a flood-prone area.

[1 pm CDT Aug 30] The area of low pressure over the northern Gulf could become a short-lived tropical depression or storm as it drifts generally west-northwestward over the next couple of days. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is expected across far southern Alabama, southern Mississippi, southern Louisiana, the Upper Texas Coast, and Southeast Texas through the middle of next week. Interests in the Upper Texas and southwestern Louisiana coasts should monitor the progress of this system.
