Eta's second act: Florida now in storm's path after it made landfall in Nicaragua as Category 4

If you did not vote for Biden and Democrats for Congress and you are hurt by these hurricanes and storms which global warming is making more frequent and stronger, I don't feel sorry for you  if you are hurt by these storms, because you are voting for people blocking action on climate disruption.  I do feel sad for the decent, responsible people who are being hurt.

Conservatives say they like Trump because he  says what he thinks.  So they should love me when I say what I really think.

Eta made landfall Tuesday afternoon as a strong 140 mph Category 4 hurricane in Nicaragua, making it the strongest hurricane to strike that country since 2007.

By Wednesday morning, it had weakened to a tropical storm, but life-threatening flash flooding continued for portions of Central America.

Even though Eta is forecast to weaken to a depression or remnant low, it is still expected to produce catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding along with landslides in areas of higher terrain across Central America. Flash and river flooding are also possible across Jamaica, southeast Mexico, El Salvador, southern Haiti and the Cayman Islands through the end of the week.

By Friday, focus turns to Eta's potential "second act" and its forecast in respect to the United States.

On Friday, Eta is forecast to emerge out over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and restrengthen to a tropical storm by sometime Saturday.

On Sunday, it is forecast to affect Cuba and by late Sunday or early Monday, it will be approaching the Florida Keys and southern Florida. There is significant uncertainty in the intensity and exact timing for Florida, but people there, as well as those all along the Gulf Coast, should monitor and prepare for, at the very least, wet and windy conditions beginning late Sunday into early next week.

So far this season, there have been a record-breaking 11 landfalls on the U.S. mainland. Remarkably, none of those have been in the state of Florida.
