[Outages-discussion] Hurricane Milton upgraded to Category 4; barreling towards western Florida.

[David Eddleman]

If you're in a hurricane zone, it's worthwhile to check out NOAA's National
Hurricane Center.
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&fdays=7
This is for 7 days in the Atlantic; they also have the same for Central
Pacific (Hawaii) and Eastern Pacific (more towards the western coast of
Mexico and southern California).

I've also found https://zoom.earth to be quite nice, gives a global view so
you can see what's forming where and their own predictions on intensity and
path.

Milton will probably not hit Florida until midday Wednesday from
predictions, and it may weaken or strengthen before then.
