  1. I'm just sitting here - safe in Florida - and feeling guilty ...oh so guilty ... that I'm relieved we are not in the path of #HurricaneMelissa !

    PLEASE help #Jamaica any way you can! They will not be able to handle this without much monetary help!

    Please remember that this one is stronger than #HurricaneKatrina when it hit #NewOrleans and much stronger than #HurricaneMilton when it hit us here last year.

    Pray for those who can't get out of her way!

  2. Okay, then feed it data one week out on #HurricaneMilton. See what #Google #AI #WeatherModel says #Milton would've done! If it doesn't follow where Milton went - at Milton's strength - I want to hear NO MORE about #Google #AI and #Wx!

    "In a significant advance for improving weather forecast accuracy, Google DeepMind scientists have developed a weather model that largely beats the world's most accurate modeling system."

  3. Findings show it’s unlikely that Hurricanes Beryl and Milton in 2024 would have developed into Category 5 hurricanes without the influence of climate change.

  4. "#UniversalSuicide": An imprisoned #ClimateActivist on why the fight for the planet still matters

    #JustStopOil cofounder Roger Hallam spoke with Salon about overcoming climate despair and taking action

    "Many people don’t need something as dramatic as #HurricaneMilton to tell them our climate is spiraling out of control. It’s evident everywhere, from the U.K. recently reporting its second worst #harvest on record to #Antarctica turning green to the U.S. spending $150 billion a year on climate change-related #ExtremeWeather events.

    "But this isn’t some mysterious crisis. We know #FossilFuel companies are responsible for the emissions heating the globe. But instead of fixing it, these corporations have lied to the public, bribed politicians and sowed distrust in science. Meanwhile, governments are giving more money than ever to fossil fuel companies via subsidies, with a record $7 trillion cashed out to #BigOil in 2022.

    "Some climate activist groups would like to bring your attention to this issue. But they are often arrested and get the book thrown at them when they demonstrate. Climate activist Roger Hallam knows this all too well, as he serves a five-year prison sentence for #BlockingTraffic — and, as he explained to Salon, his plight is a warning to Americans who vote for politicians that deny climate science.

    "Hallam, who described himself as a #PoliticalPrisoner, was incarcerated for his role in leading and participating in an anti-climate change demonstration in November 2022. For four days, Hallam and more than three dozen other activists climbed a gantry and thereby blocked traffic in London’s critically important #M25 motorway."

    今月のKSC Flyoverでは、スペースコーストの活気溢れる様子を探ります。SpaceXはフロリダでのStarship計画を示唆する新しいハードウェアで興奮を呼び起こし、Blue OriginはNew Glennの初飛行に近づいています。

    ハリケーンMiltonの被害やケネディ宇宙センターへの影響も取り上げられます。

  6. EL CENTRO, Center for Puerto Rican Studies at #CUNY Hunter College also has an infographic PDF for Florida:
    centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/app/u

    am including the image of the PDF linked here

    notice how most of the Puerto Rican population in Florida live in the path of #HurricaneHelene and #HurricaneMilton.

    most of them moved there after #HurricaneMaria devastated La Isla.

  7. #NOAA dropped scientist’s ashes into the eye of #Category5 #HurricaneMilton

  8. Well, insurance adjuster came. They took photos of damaged garage and everything that was destroyed in #HurricaneMilton .

    Said we'd hear from them again ~Wednesday. Here's hoping. Tired of a hole through my garage and a garage door that doesn't close. 😳

  9. This may seem like a small thing to some, but when our garage failed during #HurricaneMilton, we took everything out of the damage - like one does. One of the most expensive things in our garage was our #Christmas Tree. It was over $400... one of those pre-lit things that does all the LED light dancing...

    After we thoroughly dried it out, 1/2 the lights are out. And you can't replace them. It's not like replacing a light string.

    Lesson: Think twice before buying pre-lit.

    Learned... 😢

  11. "NASA & SpaceX Adjust Crew-8 Undocking Date" by @NASA @Commercial_Crew - Tue or Wed? #NASA #Crew8 #SpaceX #CrewDragon re-entry has been waiting on #HurricaneMilton & several fronts for good #weather forecast at any of 7 Florida splashdown sites. blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/ #NewSpace

  12. "#HurricaneMilton was a massive rainmaker — overflowing canals, rivers and lakes and flooding homes and neighborhoods from North Tampa to Orlando.

    #ClimateChange almost certainly made Milton’s deluge worse, scientists found in a new post-hurricane analysis — by perhaps 20 to 30 percent. Its findings don’t bode well for #Florida’s future."
