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

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.”

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

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just finished giving an update on preparations ahead of Hurricane Milton.  Replay Video Below.  There are multiple mandatory evacuations taking place along the western coast of Florida.

Milton came on the scene on Saturday as a tropical storm. Early Monday morning, Milton kicked off a rapid intensification starting as a Category 2 storm. By noon, the storm had strengthened to a large Category 5 hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said.  Florida state preparations are ongoing.

More info to follow later….

Hurricane Milton has intensified in the Eastern Gulf and is expected to gain strength over the next 24 hours.  On the positive side, most predictions have rapid deintensification in their models in the final 12 hours before landfall.  However, there are major variables still to be understood.

Overall, all interests on the west coast of Florida should use the next two days to complete preparation.  Today and tomorrow look like the best opportunity to secure property and prepare for a landfall event sometime late Wednesday/Thursday morning. The exact area of impact remains unknown.

(NHC) – […] An eastward to east-southeastward motion is forecast through tonight, followed by a turn toward the east and northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the forecast track, Milton is forecast to move near or just north of the Yucatan Peninsula today and Tuesday, then cross the eastern Gulf of Mexico and approach the west coast of the Florida Peninsula by Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are now near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher gusts. Milton is forecast to intensify rapidly and become a major hurricane later today. (read more)

There is a certain level of media bias that exceeds even what is sickeningly visible amid expected media bias. That level of bias should be called Welker-level.

Seriously, in this Meet the Press segment Ms. Welker takes antagonistic questioning to new levels of insufferable falsehood. Tom Cotton swats away the effort, but good grief she doesn’t stop trying. WATCH:

As anticipated, Tropical Storm Milton is now Hurricane Milton with top winds of 80 mph.  In the past 24 hrs., Milton slowed down a bit, wobbled a little south, and gained strength about a half-day earlier than predicted.   The probability cone shifted a little south and the center consensus is now just south of Tampa in the Sarasota area.

As mentioned last night, this storm is going to be unique in contrast of condition between the areas immediately North and South of the storm.  There are far too many variables for any accurate assessment at the moment; however, all interests should pay close attention.  As a result of the slowing, the prudent evacuation timeline has moved from Tuesday morning to Tuesday afternoon.

(NHC) – At 100 PM CDT (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Milton was located by an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 22.5 North, longitude 94.0 West. Milton is moving toward the east near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this general motion is expected today. An eastward to east-northeastward motion is forecast on Monday, followed by a faster northeastward motion on Tuesday and Wednesday.

On the forecast track, Milton is forecast to move north of the Yucatan Peninsula and to move across the Gulf of Mexico and approach the west coast of the Florida Peninsula by midweek.
