UPDATE:  My apologies for the prior update, too little sleep. Hurricane Milton 8:00am advisory. All interests in the Tampa area and South to Fort Myers/Naples should pay attention.

Today is the final day for any storm preparation. Conditions will deteriorate tonight as Milton approaches land. The exact location of impact is not yet defined. It looks like Sarasota Bradenton is in the bullseye. Information from the National Hurricane Center puts the predicted path at/near Tampa. Trust me, on this one a few miles will make all the difference.

At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Milton was located near latitude 25.0 North, longitude 84.8 West. Milton is moving toward the northeast near 16 mph (26 km/h). A northeastward motion is expected through tonight. A turn toward the east-northeast and east is expected on Thursday and Friday.

On the forecast track, the center of Milton will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico today, make landfall along the west-central coast of Florida late tonight or early Thursday morning, and move off the east coast of Florida over the western Atlantic Ocean Thursday afternoon.

Maximum sustained winds are near 155 mph (250 km/h) with higher gusts. Milton is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Milton is expected to remain an extremely dangerous major hurricane when it reaches the west-central coast of Florida tonight.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km). The minimum central pressure based on NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter data is 915 mb (27.02 inches). (more)

High tide in Tampa (Hillsborough) is at 6:11am tomorrow Thursday.  Unfortunately, a rising tide overnight can enhance the impact of storm surge. The total of the eyewall is currently 60 miles (30 miles from center). That’s an average buzzsaw in relative terms.  This one is slightly smaller than Ian (’22) in size and but moving faster 16mph. Keep praying for this one to get torn apart by windshear.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I was initially wondering why it took CBS 60-Minutes over 36 hours to upload the full interview to their YouTube account.  Now things make sense.

CBS 60-Minutes not only edited the interview, but they also completely erased parts of the interview and structurally moved answers to questions in an intentional effort to assist the Harris campaign.  In essence, CBS completely changed the interview.

CBS didn’t just shape or modify the interview; they literally moved answers to questions.  A Twitter user named @Mazemore was the first to notice one big substantial edit that completely manufacturers a different question and answer. “The edited version that CBS put on YouTube is a work of art. Mix and match questions and answers.”  This is unreal journalistic manipulation.  WATCH:

Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

This is what many Americans will now see. pic.twitter.com/H4w7btDv6x

CBS broadcast the edited version of the answer, as well as uploaded this manipulated version to their YouTube account.  Yet this same MSM media outlet decries the use of “deep fakes.”

This is a little bit unusual, and I don’t generally recommend going to a bizarro leftist narrative article for full review; however, in this case it is worth it.

Politico has written an article about FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, saying disinformation about the federal government response to Hurricane Helene, “is absolutely the worst I have ever seen,” Criswell told reporters on a Tuesday morning call.  “It’s creating distrust in the federal government, but also the state government, and we have so many first responders that have been working to go out and help these communities,” she added. {link}

However, if you go read the article fraught with pearl-clutching and protestation, you might curiously discover there is not a single citation for any claimed “disinformation.”  {SEE HERE}  It is very odd to see FEMA and by extension Politico in their defense, claiming that massive disinformation is running rampant, and yet they do not cite a single example of the disinformation they claim to exist.   Seriously, no joke – GO LOOK.

If you are an intellectually honest observer of government, you are left with the question: where is this disinformation you speak of?

Most of the shared examples of FEMA’s failures have been with full citation, presented with factual information – raw source attribution and audio/visuals of FEMA officials on the ground in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina to bolster the claims.  In short, all the claims against FEMA are specifically cited; however, all of the deflective justifications and denials are not.

Hurricane Milton’s unpredicted shift/wobble southward closer to Yucatan Peninsula now puts Milton on a more traditional East-NorthEast track as it heads toward the Southwest Florida Coast. [Latest NHC Update Here].

A large evacuation program is underway as people leave the west coastal Florida areas.  However, the exact path of Milton is still unknown. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis holds a press conference to discuss, among other things, the urgent distribution of fuel to assist in keeping fuel flowing to the gas stations on the evacuation routes.

Additionally, debris removal from the areas impacted by Hurricane Helene will continue through today on a 24 hour operation; which will continue until conditions deteriorate and it is no longer safe.  A massive assembly of state resources for search, rescue and recovery operations continue being staged.  Due to the needs in Eastern Tennessee and Western NC, an additional 36,000 linemen and power recovery operations are flowing toward Florida from far west.

As many of you are aware, my homebase is directly in the path.  I will provide updates as soon as possible and share plans for communication and ongoing CTH site operation (tonight).  We will pre-schedule the daily open threads so that discussion of all important topics can continue uninterrupted.

My message….  Despite the chaos around us in the deep south, for those outside the impact region, we need to keep pushing information for voter registrations (and ballot challenges) ahead of election deadlines and stay focused on the longer-term mission of MAGA 2024.  For those in the impact region – focus on your immediate needs, follow prior advice on planning and preparation, evacuate if needed.  Don’t forget to pause, breathe and PRAY. Love to all y’all. /SD
