Severe weather

Mudslides are dangerous torrents that are usually referred to by geologists and first responders as debris flows.

Last week was Florida Severe Weather Awareness Week–an informative time period that was purposely scheduled during our quiet time, before hurricane season and before rainy season.

Feb. 3-7 is Florida Severe Weather Awareness Week. Each day covers different aspects of extreme weather in Florida, from floods to heat to hurricanes. NBC6 Meteorologist Steve MacLaughlin explains.

South Florida is seeing some of its worst floods outside of hurricane season because of a combination of rain bombs and sea-level rise. Meteorologist Steve MacLaughlin explains how to prepare.

Three nuns and a priest were seen enjoying the snow in Louisiana Tuesday at a church near New Orleans.

States in the South and the East are experiencing bitterly cold weather and battling dangerous travel conditions.

Winter storm warnings stretched from Texas to Florida, with heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain expected through Wednesday.

Snow and ice across the U.S. South are expected to relinquish their grip only slowly as the weekend continues.

Winter weather brings various hazards that people have to contend with to keep warm and safe.

Millions of people from across the South are under threat of damaging winds, strong tornadoes and hail Saturday as the region braces for more potential destructive storms.

The archipelago in the Indian Ocean has suffered extensive damage after getting pummeled by winds in excess of 136 mph.

Also Saturday, San Francisco residents awoke to a tornado warning, but none touched down there. It was the first such warning for the city since at least 1950.

A major ice storm has created treacherous driving conditions across Iowa and eastern Nebraska and prompted temporary closures of Interstate 80 after numerous cars and trucks slid off the road.

In the wake of hurricanes Helene and Milton, an outlandish conspiracy theory about the Federal Emergency Management Agency that has percolated for decades started to reappear online. Now, the government agency is making one of its strongest pushes against the claim to date.

Milton’s tornadoes were part of an unusual trend this year: Hurricanes in the U.S. have produced an abnormally high number of strong twisters.

Meteorologists calculate that more than 40 trillion gallons of rain drenched the Southeast United States in the last week from Hurricane Helene and a run-of-the-mill rainstorm that sloshed in ahead of it. It’s an unheard-of amount of water that stunned experts.

The U.S. Southeast grappled Sunday with rising death tolls, a lack of vital supplies in isolated, flood-stricken areas and the widespread loss of homes and property while the devastating toll of Hurricane Helene became more clear and officials warned of a lengthy and difficult rebuild.

The storm, now a post-tropical cyclone, was expected to hover over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said.

Massive rains from powerful Hurricane Helene left people stranded, without shelter and awaiting rescue Saturday, as the cleanup began from a tempest that killed at least 58 people, caused widespread destruction across the U.S. Southeast and left millions without power.
