Storm INVEST92L (aka Tropical Depression 14, to be named Hurricane Milton) is threatening to become a Cat 4 hurricane and slice thru Florida next week.

Some models indicate even higher wind speeds than the conservative values forecast by NHC.

Biden govt and FEMA will be busy making plans and preparations, republicans will be busy creating disinformation and accusations. We need to prepare to neutralize their disinformation campaign.

As is the new normal, Climate Change induced high heat content in the Gulf waters will facilitate rapid intensification and higher moisture content over the next few days of Storm INVEST92L (aka Tropical Depression 14, to be named Hurricane Milton).

The map below shows Sea Surface Temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and in the path of the storm.

Tropical Storm Milton is swirling in the Gulf of Mexico with winds at 45 mph. But the forecast for wind speeds before landfall in Florida on Wednesday has risen considerably, with some models predicting winds of 184 mph, far above Cat 5.

Please make preparations and stay informed using reliable sources.
