Right now

The most recent data we hold from NOAA arrived 2 minutes ago, and this point is not in it. We record detections, not passes: an absence is not proof that nothing is there.

Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.

This alert expired on 18 March 2026 at 18:15 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

It is the 19th strongest of the 59 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 10 March 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 8 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.

One source: NOAA. Not yet confirmed by a second, independent source.

Our own score for this event is 22 out of 100, at 60 % confidence.

Safety Information

During flooding: never walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. Six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of water can sweep away a vehicle. Move to higher ground if waters rise. After flooding, avoid contact with floodwater which may contain sewage, chemicals, or debris. Follow local emergency service guidance.

Series begins 8 March 2026. Comparisons refer to that period only. Collection gap: 14-26 August 2026.
