In addition to Fred, #tropicalstormhenri has formed just south of Bermuda. This marks the 8th named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. This is the third fastest on record for an eighth named storm to form, behind 2020 and 2005. pic.twitter.com/DLyy3rVmov

Flooding in Florida yesterday from Fred

This was from Lynn Haven, Florida earlier this evening. I had to use my iPhone to shoot my handheld video camera that I used to capture the scene. #Fred @NWSTallahassee pic.twitter.com/tFTb1Sk34b

and yesterday from icylone

I expect sheared cyclones to have asymmetric wind fields, but #FRED was crazy lopsided—more than I expected. Drove thru "eye," & when I came out on other side in Apalachicola, whole gale was ripping hard—with serious storm surge inundation. Total weirdo of a storm. @WeatherNation pic.twitter.com/8oRfjErZbe
