United Airlines is really zigging while other US airlines are zagging on international routes next summer. Its summer 2025 additions include Dakar, Kaohsiung, Madeira, Nuuk, and Ulaanbaatar from Newark, Tokyo Narita, and Washington Dulles. united.mediaroom.com/2024-10-10-U...

UBN - Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia KHH - Kaohsiung, Taiwan GOH - Nuuk, Greenland Quite possibly the only thing these far flung places have in common is that United will be serving them with 737s staring summer 2025. UBN and KHH will be served using Guam-based aircraft via Tokyo NRT.

For a<br /> depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather<br /> Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at<br /> hurricanes.gov. This is a life-threatening situation.

For storm information specific to your area<br /> outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by<br /> your national meteorological service.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK<br /> ----------------------<br /> At 100 PM CDT (1800 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Milton was located<br /> near latitude 22.5 North, longitude 88.2 West. Although Milton has <br /> been wobbling during the past few hours, its longer-term motion is <br /> toward the east-northeast near 8 mph (13 km/h). A turn toward the<br /> northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected to begin<br /> later today and continue through Thursday. On the forecast track,<br /> the center of Milton will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and<br /> approach the west-central coast of Florida through Wednesday. The<br /> center is likely to make landfall along the west-central coast of<br /> Florida on Wednesday night, and move east-northeastward across<br /> central Florida through Thursday.<br /> <br /> Aircraft reconnaissance data and satellite images indicate that <br /> maximum sustained winds have increased to near 155 mph (250 km/h) <br /> with higher gusts. Milton is a category 4 hurricane on the <br /> Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. While fluctuations in <br /> intensity are expected, Milton is forecast to remain an extremely <br /> dangerous hurricane through landfall in Florida.<br /> <br /> Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from<br /> the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105<br /> miles (165 km).<br /> <br /> The minimum central pressure based on dropsonde data is 923 mb<br /> (27.26 inches).<br /> <br /> <br /> HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND<br /> ----------------------<br /> Key Messages for Milton can be found in the Tropical Cyclone<br /> Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC<br /> and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml<br /> <br /> STORM SURGE: A storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 2<br /> to 4 feet above ground level along the northern coast of the<br /> Yucatan Peninsula in areas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the<br /> surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.<br /> <br /> The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause<br /> normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters<br /> moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the<br /> following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if<br /> the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...<br /> <br /> Anclote River, FL to Englewood, FL...10-15 ft<br /> Tampa Bay...10-15 ft<br /> Englewood, FL to Bonita Beach, FL...6-10 ft<br /> Charlotte Harbor...6-10 ft<br /> Yankeetown, FL to Anclote River, FL...5-10 ft<br /> Bonita Beach, FL to Chokoloskee, FL...4-7 ft<br /> Suwannee River, FL to Yankeetown, FL...3-5 ft<br /> Chokoloskee, FL to Flamingo, FL...3-5 ft<br /> Port Canaveral, FL to Altamaha Sound, GA...3-5 ft<br /> <br /> The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to<br /> the south of the landfall location, where the surge will be<br /> accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding<br /> depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle,<br /> and can vary greatly over short distances. For information<br /> specific to your area, please see products issued by your local<br /> National Weather Service forecast office.<br /> <br /> For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge<br /> inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm<br /> Surge Graphic, available at<br /> hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge.<br /> <br /> RAINFALL: Rainfall amounts of 5 to 12 inches, with localized totals<br /> up to 18 inches, are expected across central to northern portions of<br /> the Florida Peninsula through Thursday. This rainfall brings the<br /> risk of life-threatening flash and urban flooding, along with<br /> moderate to major river flooding.<br /> <br /> Milton will also produce rainfall totals 2 to 4 inches across the<br /> Florida Keys through Thursday.<br /> <br /> Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches, with isolated totals<br /> around 6 inches, are expected across northern portions of the<br /> Yucatan Peninsula.<br /> <br /> For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with<br /> Hurricane Milton, please see the National Weather Service Storm<br /> Total Rainfall Graphic, available at<br /> hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk<br /> graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero.<br /> <br /> WIND: Hurricane and tropical storm conditions will continue in the<br /> warning areas in Mexico today.<br /> <br /> Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area<br /> across Florida beginning late Wednesday through early Thursday.<br /> Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in the warning area<br /> on the west coast of Florida Wednesday morning, spreading across<br /> the peninsula and reaching the east coast Wednesday evening.<br /> <br /> Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area<br /> on the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on Thursday.<br /> <br /> Tropical storm conditions are possible in the extreme northwestern<br /> Bahamas on Thursday.<br /> <br /> TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible over central and southern<br /> Florida beginning late tonight and continuing through Wednesday<br /> night.<br /> <br /> SURF: Swells generated by Milton are expected to continue to<br /> affect much of the Gulf Coast within the next day or two, and are<br /> likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.<br /> Please consult products from your local weather office.<br /> <br /> <br /> NEXT ADVISORY<br /> -------------<br /> Next complete advisory at 400 PM CDT.<br /> <br /> $$<br /> Forecaster Berg<br /> <br />

The lack of understanding by citizens of how the U.S. federal government budgets and spends money and how it’s not like mom and pop’s freezer envelope system is disturbing.

I’ve talked about the need for a portable backup drive that doesn’t require a computer. There have been options in the past but a lot of them are no longer available. There is a new Kickstarter for a similar product but I’m always worried about actual delivery. www.kickstarter.com/projects/194...

ANA’s ORD-HND taxied from T5 to T1 under its own power and then received a water cannon salute. Cool to see!

I am running for NH State Rep this cycle in part to ensure that the seat is filled by a Democrat; there weren't any others around keen to serve. I hope to be more than just a placeholder. But that's part of the motivation. #nhpoli

Also, you stand a chance of kicking a local R out of office, which is absolutely essential during this time of Project 2025 Republicanism and the Supreme Court declaring the president to be a monarch. If fascism comes, it'll be enforced by local politicians.
