New Englanders have enjoyed delightful sunshine and pleasant air for our post-Labor Day return to work and school, but a quiet Tuesday belies what’s actually a very active weather pattern in the days ahead. There are two big players in our weather story: a cold front diving southeast out of Canada and Hurricane Dorian. The latter has taken the weather...

Hurricane Michael, which devastated the Florida Panhandle last fall, was actually stronger than initially measured, prompting forecasters to posthumously upgrade it from a Category 4 storm to a Category 5, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Friday.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency wrongly released to a contractor the personal information of 2.3 million survivors of devastating 2017 hurricanes and wildfires, potentially exposing the victims to identity fraud and theft, a government watchdog reported Friday.

Hurricane Michael was a strong Category 4 with its measured 155 mph sustained winds upon landfall — 2 mph under Cat. 5 status. Some officials in one Florida Panhandle county are pushing for Hurricane Michael to be labelled a Category 5 storm.

It was once argued that the trees would help save Florida’s Panhandle from the fury of a hurricane, as the acres of forests in the region would provide a natural barrier to savage winds that accompany the deadly storms. It’s part of the reason that tighter building codes — mandatory in places such as South Florida — were not put...

Airlines canceled dozens of flights on Wednesday in the Southern U.S. as “life-threatening” Hurricane Michael approached Florida’s Gulf Coast, packing 140 mph wind.

As of late Monday morning, Tropical Storm Michael was upgraded to Hurricane Michael, with sustained (steady) wind blowing at 75 mph, surpassing the 74 mph threshold to reach hurricane classification.

A week ago, firefighters in Conway went to a neighborhood and told surprised residents their houses would flood from Hurricane Florence even though they had never had water in them before. On Monday and Tuesday, those same firefighters checked on those same neighborhoods with maps that detailed each of the nearly 1,000 homes that could expect to be inundated. “It’s...
