Gosh, looks like another hurricane is about to hit western Florida. Poor souls, there was a lady on the news who was saying she cannot go on any more, her business has been flattened too many times by hurricanes.
strange to me is that the prediction is that the storm tracks NE to hit Florida, after travelling eastwards to hit the Yucatan Peninsula. It's like it is travelling backwards

It is steered by a Ridge which goes in the middle of the Gulf to the East, so the Hurricane is forced to stay down/South, means moving E towards Yucatan.
The Ridge then is formed more NE, which will track Milton to cross Central Florida on a NE Heading.
After the crossing the line goes again more Ewards than NE and that will be the tracking of Milton after taking Central Florida.
Milton is a Superpower and will run the highest possible windforces/speeds, it will move less than 10mphr forward, so the hitting Storm Surge and the super strong Downpours and the wind powers are all of the maximum a Hurricane could bring.
FL Housing is not built to provide shelter from such powers, where Evacuation orders come in place the people in that area darn sure should follow those and get the heck out of Dodge.
And all that despite high windshear, Milton is already strong enough to laugh away counter forces like wind shear for days to come.
By Wednesday Night it should reach the point where it will outrun itself due it's own powers, but by then it also should have made or just be doing Landfall.
It will go down many notches while over Central Florida but should easily manage to still be a Hurricane when leaving FL well N of the NWern Bahamas,
to continue then ENW-E out over open waters going down due the by then significantly bothering windshear, as it's super powers will be gone by then.
It's Eyewall will be for 10hrs over Land plus a lengthy time frame high powers will be felt prior to the hit and after the eyewall will be gone already.

If it tracks as predicted, it will cross Florida on the I-4 corridor which runs from Tampa-Orlando-Daytona. It's one of the most heavily populated stretches in Florida, second only to the South Coast. It can easily be seen in night satellite photos. It will be a very destructive and costly hurricane.

Florida is not a place to live.

Just to chime in so nobody thinks this topic is forgotten.
We are all fine and stay storm free for the days to come, nothing in our surroundings nor anything expected to come our way these days.
Keep our prayers for Florida, which sure is evacuating a very large number of residents due the approach of Milton.
This Hurricane is a Super Storm, it already had reached the maximum possible wind force a hurricane could reach,
looks "weaker" at this moment, but that's just due the usual and necessary eyewall change a huge storm has to go through when reaching the top of the line of powers. Such strong storm with such small Eye-Diameter will raise powers in no time and the conditions over the Gulf are simply Perfect for a Storm.
Absolutely nothing knocked down this one and it will stay on full max Force until it's landfall in Central Western Florida tomorrow night/early thursday morning.
Where such maximum Force will walk through with just 10 or even less than 10mphr forward speed, not much/nothing will be the same after the very long hours of bouncing top speed winds, not to speak of the already in place days long storm surge hitting for the coast line and the torrential rainfalls over grounds which just had heavy water loads from Hurricane Helene which keep still all grounds saturated before Milton will add to the mess.
Again,
we are here on our Paradise Island completely fine and there is zero danger on any radar brewing for us.
4 more weeks to go, all fingers crossed.

I got a kick out of the Tampa mayor saying "If you stay here you're going to die."

Take a look at it now. Florida really sucked all the life out of Milton. It could have been a LOT worse.

Yes, it already lost significant powers before that landfall and continued to go down all the time after, it will almost be gone from the maps.
But I guess nobody will play the stupid and complain about a storm not to have been as destructive as expected.
Back to DR Storms,
we are all around fine with nothing of a threat expected to touch our Island during the next days.

I was since early morning out of the Finca doing stuff on the road, see now in my email notifications that there would be a new post on here on this Topic by DRStock, but I can't see anything here, other than that i could read the article as the link is in the email notification.
Now my question is, WWHO the fock did delete this post here on My Topic?
As I sure do not allow anybody to mess with this Topic to be run solely My Way?
Or did DRStock delete it himself?
I am myself, as a human with a brain, sure not a supporter of any Trump Supporters.

I didn't delete it. I posted it because the article was about the hurricane in the USA that has been widely discussed here. It wasn't about politics.

Exactly, even that some Ex Boss from there has no problem to use it's people's miseries for his reelection campagne.
But I am confident that us voters are smarter than falling for such sucker.
Back to DR Stormy Weather:
We have nothing bad in sight/near our Island, so no storm preparations necessary for this weekend.
Other than to get BBQ and beer coolers ready for the storm of friends that may pass by to have fun.

Mike, Any indication if the Disturbance #1 heading towards the Leeward Islands will amount to anything major in your valued opinion.
