In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

As has become the norm, Helene has intensified more right as she’s set to make landfall and will hit as a Cat 4
The problem is that most of that rain we got today was from a low pressure system that coincidentally was moving through as Helene was moving in.It'll be pretty serious out here, but not that bad hopefully.
SC and NC didn’t really start getting Helene’s rain till late in the day

Satellite imagery had it looking like the hurricane with a huge blade attached to it that slammed the whole east coast.The problem is that most of that rain we got today was from a low pressure system that coincidentally was moving through as Helene was moving in.

Mass power outages happening now that the wind field is hitting western NC, SC, eastern NC, and northern GA. Closing in on a foot of rain also. Fears of major river flooding + landslides in the mountain areas.
The city of Atlanta has just issued a flood emergency

Four to five feet of water just outside my apartment complex. Old timers here have never seen the Tuckseegee this high before.
Those forecasts just might be spot on @Carolina Red

It’s moving so fast
It looks like it’s going to be cleared out of SC within the next 20-30 minutes

Be careful once the rain stops. Remember, the flooding gets worse in the few hours afterFour to five feet of water just outside my apartment complex. Old timers here have never seen the Tuckseegee this high before.

We just went under tornado watch. Rain has been pretty light over here (only an inch so far).

Good on you, but play it safe! Some of the videos coming out of Ashville/Blowing Rock/etc. are just crazy.Heard. Don't think I was aware of such before.

Haven't seen any videos from east / northeast of us yet. I'll no doubt have some in the coming hours / days.Good on you, but play it safe! Some of the videos coming out of Ashville/Blowing Rock/etc. are just crazy.
Thankfully the complex is about 50 feet higher than the current water line so I am still significantly above it. I've tried to signal for six cars to stop; four blew me off & two listened. I've only seen two of the cars that have passed me on the way up the complex's driveway, hope the other two are just taking pictures down there.
I might be in what's left of the storm's eye in an hour or so. Don't recall ever being so close to a named storm's eye before.

Feels like half Tampa area was flooded. This was insane impact from what wasn't even hurricane force winds or bad rain. Spent most of the evening at the coffee shop. Finally lost power after the worst was past. I can't even begin to imagine the devastation up north.
And unfortunately places like Tropical Weather subreddit is being hammered by maga project 2024 defund NHC idiots. Why did the NHC lie, it wasn't that strong, the track was wrong, etc. I can only imagine what twitter is like.
For folks in Tampa, this might have been mentioned before, a scenario was run called Project Phoenix which simulates a Cat 5 direct hit. I have a feeling this needs updated because the surge from a glance was bad enough. A storm this size pushing water east on the south side during high tide.

From what you guys are posting this looks insane.
Why is this not bigger news? Random storms killing 12 people in a random country usually makes front page BBC news but barely a mention of a hurricane thats tearing apart the East Coast?

Crazy to see states as far as Ohio getting tropical storm/depression force conditions + tornado threats.
