Military Veterans help shape the backbone of the NWS, with 933 Veterans currently performing critical duties in our offices across the country. That’s more than one fifth of our workforce! Their unique experiences and talents bring diversity vital to meeting our mission to protect lives and property.

The hurricane that @NWS has been warning about is here! Tornadoes and heavy rainfall have begun impacting Florida well ahead of the expected landfall of #Milton. Be sure to have multiple sources for weather alerts. I urge those in harm’s way to continue heeding advice from local officials and please be safe!

2pm ET Update: Map of the current position of Hurricane Milton and the track across central Florida today. Hurricane Warnings are in effect for a large portion of the state.

As #Helene continues to spread dangerous conditions across the Southeast U.S., please seek safe shelter, listen to local authorities, check weather.gov. Earlier today, I had the privilege of flying through Helene (on purpose!) with @NOAA_HurrHunter to collect vital data that support the accurate @NWS forecasts.
