America’s employers added just 12,000 jobs in October, a total that economists say was held down by the effects of strikes and hurricanes that left many workers temporarily off payrolls.

A coastal flooding prevention project in New York City could be a model for communities along America's hurricane-battered coasts.

Storm surge, strong winds, lightning and downed powerlines are all things that have taken lives during a storm, but once the storm has passed there’s another threat.

Florida and Georgia residents living along Hurricane Idalia’s path of destruction are picking through piles of rubble where homes once stood, throwing tarps over roofs and gingerly navigating through mazes of streets left underwater or clogged with fallen trees.

The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Idalia is near the coast of Cuba on a potential track to come ashore as a hurricane in the southern U.S. At 4 a.m. CDT Monday, the storm was about 125 miles off the western tip of Cuba with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph.

Showers and downpours continue along Florida’s Big Bend, south to Cedar Key.  Locally, mostly cloudy to partly cloudy skies across northeast Florida as southeast Georgia continues clearing.  Cooler temperatures under clear skies tonight.  Who is ready for the weekend and sunny skies?

Weather conditions in southern Florida were deteriorating Tuesday as Tropical Storm Elsa passed the Florida Keys and neared hurricane strength as it hit the west coast of the state.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Eta was barely handing onto tropical storm strength as it was moving over Jacksonville at 10 a.m., according to the National Hurricane Center. As the NHC put the center of the storm 10 miles southwest of Jacksonville and it was moving north-northeast at 15 mph. By 1 p.m., the storm’s sustained winds were down to 40 mph as it was moving off the coast near Fernandina Beach and moving to the north-northeast at 15 mph. By 4 p.m. Eta was 90 miles south-southwest of Charleston, South Carolina. Greater Jacksonville was forecast to see gusts up to 40 mph and bands of tropical rain, but winds nor rainfall didn’t reach near those totals for most of the area.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – As Tropical Storm Eta inches up the Gulf Coast, projected to make landfall near Cedar Key early Thursday, conditions on the Atlantic Ocean side of Florida are starting to pick up. Lifeguards are warning people it will bring dangerous water conditions. “We’re expecting 20 to 35 mph sustained winds, windows higher than that,” said 1st Lt. Casey Donnell, a supervisor at Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue. “Your experienced swimmers, everyone is going to experience heavier surf than they’re used to. But they will not be on chairs, and rescuers are hoping to not have to go into the water after anyone.

This storm traveled westward along Cuba's north coast into the Gulf of Mexico. After several days of consistent movement, hurricane advisories were issued for the western Gulf Coast. Then Elena turned toward the north and looked as if it would hit the central Gulf Coast. Every summer, a giant upper level area of high pressure, called the Bermuda High, develops. As you a probably aware, some of our strongest hurricanes move off the west coast of Africa and track westward across the Atlantic south of the Bermuda High.
