Hurricane Milton rebounded to Category 5 status on Tuesday afternoon as the powerful storm moved over the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) attributed the upgrade to maximum sustained winds rising up to 165 miles per hour. 4pm CDT Oct 8th Key Messages for #Hurricane #Milton which has become a Category 5 hurricane again: Large area of destructive storm surge expected along portion of west-central coast of #Florida Peninsula.

However, the NHC signaled a degree of caution in its Tuesday afternoon forecast. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! 430pm CDT Oct 8th — Observations from the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters (@53rdWRS) confirm that #Hurricane #Milton is a Category 5 hurricane with max sustained winds of 165 mph. The minimum central pressure was down to 905 mb (26.72 inches). TCU: https://t.co/QFMVE0t85y pic.twitter.com/fYUsyunaGa — National Hurricane Center (@NHC_Atlantic) October 8, 2024 Milton “wobbled a bit” on Tuesday, which pushed the track guidance “a bit” to the south, the agency said in a discussion post. NHC emphasized that it is “critical to remember” that forecasts from the agency can be “off” by an average of 60 nautical miles even at 36 hours out. This “means we still can’t pinpoint an exact landfall location, especially if additional wobbles occur in the short term,” the agency said. #Milton is the fastest Atlantic hurricane to intensify from a Tropical Depression to a Category 5 Hurricane, taking just over 48 hours.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency, suspended tolls, and is making other preparations for the storm. “Now is the time to execute your plan and follow any evacuation orders from your local officials,” DeSantis said in a post to X late Tuesday afternoon. “Your home can be rebuilt, your possessions can be replaced, but we cannot replace a life lost to the storm,” he added. Today, I visited a logistics staging area at the Florida Horse Park in Ocala, one of our many staging sites just outside Hurricane Milton’s projected path.

During a Monday evening interview on CNN, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, a Democrat, issued a dire warning to residents who refuse to leave. “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die,” she declared. RELATED: Officials Give Stark Warning To Florida Residents Who Refuse To Evacuate: Write Names On Bodies As the NHC stated earlier on Tuesday, Milton’s wind field is poised to double in size and the hurricane may weaken before landfall. Still, conditions that sap the storm “will likely not be enough to keep Milton from being an extremely dangerous hurricane when it reaches shore,” NHC said. “Damaging winds, life-threatening storm surge, and heavy rainfall will extend well outside the forecast cone,” the agency stressed. That means places across Florida and beyond may feel the impacts of the storm, even if they are far away from where its core makes landfall. “After landfall, Milton is forecast to cross Florida and emerge over the Atlantic waters on Thursday,” NHC also said. NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick shared images of Milton from the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule Endeavor docked to the International Space Station.

'no illusions anymore'

'I continue to be treated with infusions of Herceptin and a daily dose of Tamoxifen'

An outdoorsman and mushroom hunter observes a bipedal, short humanoid walking through the woods. He eventually realizes that this is not a woodland animal.The following account was forwarded to me:"I will be the first to admit I thought these types of sightings were a joke and not real and I've never been able to take them seriously.I am an outdoorsman and have been for 35 years. I grew up in the woods. I memorize trees for mushroom hunting for a living. I know every brook, stream, bush, berry grove, log, you name it. Because of this, I want to keep my location private.I'm on a forest road and not a soul in sight. I gather some mushrooms and look up the road and see a rock has fallen from the loose, steep side of the mountain to the middle of the road. I mentally note that I have to move it and not drive over it. I gather my mushrooms and get back to the car.I look up and I see what appears to be a 2 or 2.5-foot-tall little brown thing walking from the side of the road over to the rock. My first logical thought is that it is a squirrel, but I see it is walking on two legs, appears to be wearing brown cloth or fur clothes, and is shaped like a human but very tiny. It's not scurrying either, it is ambling on two legs like a human would. Just casually walking like this is some normal, regular thing, like the monotonous work it does for a living.I don't believe my lying eyes. It has to be something else. I get back in the car and head up the road and see that the rock has been pushed back to the side of the road from whence it came. It had fallen off the hill, rolled to my left, and then was sitting back on the other side of the road on the right. There are drag marks like someone slid it back.I look, I smell, I sense, I listen. Nothing.I don't know where gnomes live, but the old partially logged section where I was looked pretty perfect for a clan of these things. Lots of places to hide, secluded, near water, plenty of routes of escape, and would be easy to dig little holes in the mountain and be fortified against invaders. The side road into it was flooded and appears to do so regularly so these little guys even have their own moat.I'm positive I'm overthinking this. It was a long drive back up the mountain, then down the mountain the other way, and sometimes home, and I can't pick this apart into anything else but being a tiny little forest man. I'm like 1000% positive that I saw what I saw.It was near a military 'special interest' zone allegedly blocked off due to some native butterflies, but I'm starting to wonder if this research area is really about butterflies after all. They send you to prison, ban you from parks, and give you a $5000 fine if you take a single berry from inside that boundary." S**********GIANTS! LEGENDS BASED ON TRUTH? LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

One of my Finnish readers, Tapio Mäkinen, alerted me to an expedition to the Waldviertel region of Austria in search of the Alp. At the time, he was looking for interested parties to join him once he arrived on location.His description of this cryptid (edited for comprehension): "For you who not are familiar with the Alp it's an ancient creature. It's described in old books and art like "Nachtmahr" (“Night-mare”) by Johann Heinrich Füssli (1802). It was first mentioned in the 16th century and most of the myths about this creature were made up during the 19th century.The Alp is a sort of huge bat with humanoid features with longer legs and arms. Since there are no clear pictures of this creature one has to rely on eyewitnesses when it comes to its appearance.It's covered in fur and is believed to be closely related to flying foxes. The humanoid features are hard to explain but it might be a misunderstanding (it has arms). Most likely it's a thicker part of the humerus and radius bone that might look like arms.The size of the Alp is disputed and there is a misconception that they are the same size as a full-grown man. There is no evidence that this would be the case, quite the opposite. The proportion between the body and the wings is 1:5 or 1:6. An Alp the same size as a full-grown man would need a wingspan of about 10 meters to fly. This has never been recorded. The wingspan is more likely 4-5 meters and this would give it a length of about one meter.There are many differences between a flying fox and an Alp but this is the closest relative. The wingspan of a flying fox is just under 2 meters, so the Alp is bigger.Pteropus or Flying FoxThe myth about the Alp being a vampire originates from the myths about vampire bats. There are bloodsucking bats but they are very rare. It was during the 19th century the myths about the Alp as a vampire began. There were no records of the Alp being a bloodsucker before 1817. The myths about vampires from the 18th century through the beginning of the 19th century incorporate other creatures and present them as vampires. The story that the Alp is a blood-sucking vampire has never been proven. There are also myths about the Alp being a shapeshifter and haunting its victims by entering their minds and giving them nightmares (the appearance of the Alp is enough to give you nightmares, I'll admit that).My extensive research shows that the Alp is a distant relative of the flying fox. It's extremely shy and has a very long lifespan. Some creatures can reach almost 200 years. The explanation that the remains of a dead Alp have never been found is that it's a very small population, they live long and in isolated areas. There are probably only 6-8 individuals left and they are spread out over central and eastern Europe. Where they breed, how they nest and other questions remain unknown."THE ALP - DEMON OF NIGHTMARESThe Alp, from German lore, is a vampiric spirit, or demon, who can shape-shift. They are often described in German legends as appearing in nightmares as a bogeyman or an incubus.Alps are considered to be butterfly vampires and released by the horerczy demon. (A horerczy is a German demon that releases vampiric butterflies out of his mouth.) Alps suck the breath out of humans. Not only do they appear as butterflies, but they can also take the form of cats, pigs, birds, and sickly dogs. They also always wear a magical hat that gives the alp supernatural power and invisibility.The alp is said to wait until people are asleep and will cause awful dreams. It enters the sleeper's mouth as a form of mist or a snake and attacks with its evil eye. They also can sexually molest both males and females, drinking blood through the nipples of men and women. They also drink milk from women’s breasts as well as from cows. If you are a woman and want protection against the alp, it is said if you place your shoes next to your bed pointing them towards the door. It is also said that if a child’s mother used a horse collar to help with the difficulties of childbirth while that child was born, that child is at a high of becoming an alp. - bloodylexicon.comAN ALP IS CAPTURED"A cabinetmaker in Bühl slept in a bed in his workshop. Several nights in a row something laid itself onto his chest and pressed against him until he could hardly breathe. After talking the matter over with a friend, the next night he lay awake in bed. At the stroke of twelve, a cat slipped in through a hole. The cabinetmaker quickly stopped up the hole, caught the cat, and nailed down one of its paws. Then he went to sleep.The next morning he found a beautiful naked woman in the cat's place. One of her hands was nailed down. She pleased him so much that he married her.One day, after she had borne him three children, she was with him in his workshop, when he said to her, "Look, that is where you came in!" and he opened the hole that had been stopped up until now.The woman suddenly turned into a cat, ran out through the opening, and she was never seen again." - Bernhard Baader, "Alp," Volkssagen aus dem Lande Baden und den angrenzenden Gegenden - 1851**********GIANTS!

Regularly, I receive questions concerning alien races, where they come from, and the characteristics associated with each race. Many people have claimed to encounter some of these alien races and there are a variety of descriptions that correlate to each group. What I am going to attempt to do is to occasionally offer available information, and perhaps include knowledge I have obtained during my research and investigations. This post will focus on Alpha Draconians:According to Known Alien Races - Beings from Outer Space and Beyond the Alpha Draconians are a race of reptilian beings that are said to have established colonies in the Alpha Draconis which is a star system in the constellation of Draco. Like all reptilians, these claim to have originated on Terra, an 8.6 billion-year-old planetary star system with a very high T score (a score of how likely a planet or star system is to have life). With the large amount of planets in Terra the scientific community will spend many years trying to understand and learn from this newly found world. It is also a Binary Star system which means it has two sun stars instead of just one. The Alpha Draconians have a passion to take over our world. It is said that they are a key part of a planned invasion to turn from covert infiltration style to overt invasion style as the absolute best opportunity opens. This opportunity is the period before human society becomes an interplanetary and interstellar force. They are attempting to keep their opportunity open by suppressing higher technology from the masses, which would lead eventually lead to the colonization of other planets by Earth and a solution to the overpopulation, pollution issues, food problems, and other environmental threats. Alpha Draconians as well as all reptilians from Terra have a sort of crazed warrior instinct that drives them to attain interstellar capabilities.In more general terms, the Alpha Draconians are possibly the oldest known Reptilian race in our galaxy. All Reptilian species are thought to be genetic hybrids and manipulations from an original race called the Ciakar.A specific description from an alleged witness states:Alpha Draconians can be huge in stature, growing up to 15-20 feet tall and can weigh up to a ton. Some can parallel the dinosaurs Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor in appearance...while others relate closely to legendary Dragons / Dracos, including wing structures for flying. They have black leathery brown scale bellies, with multiple abdomens. There are whiskers along their chin and jaw line. They possess a mating claw and multiple tongues.They lay eggs and what is called a battle hormone is used to accelerate the birthing process. They are a duality. This is why ancestral females did not participate in war, because if they did, there wouldn’t be others to help with the eggs and to secrete this hormone.Stronger young females were expected to defeat and kill older and weaker leaders in ritual combat.The Ciakar race is ruled and managed by genetic lineage. Genetic lineage always follows the mother, because you always know who the mother is, you don’t always know who the father is. In that particular line the females have all the say.Ruled by the monarchy of a queen genetic lineage they are one of the most powerful races in the galaxy. They have some of the greatest military might that has ever been seen in the galaxy and most of the clan members are zealots and will do anything for the glory of their clans, of their lineage.They have been the chief enemy of all human races in this galaxy in past conflicts. Again, we are talking about hydrogen breathers vs. oxygen breathers. They have three spinal columns. One spine is located ventrally near the stomach; the other two are located dorsally on the left and on the right of the Ciakars body.Spinal columns join near the dorsal of the geometric center at the extreme posterior of the trunk to form a long and very powerful tail. Inside of the hands are claws containing jelly-like sacks that excrete the various hormones and substances when the Ciakar is aroused, either for sex or for battle. - bibliotecapleyades.netThere are different theories concerning the Alpha Draconians...but for the most part, they seem to subject control over some of the other alien races. Their aggressive ways and scientific abilities suggest that they are the most dominant of the Reptilian races.There are theories that Alpha Draconians may have been responsible for the creation of an evolved human race, known as Starhuman. It's an interesting read, though somewhat convoluted in its concept.Human civilians and earthlings know very little when it comes to Alpha Draconians and other alien races. Is it possible that governments have made treaties with alien beings during our history? I think that the answer is a resounding 'yes.' There is a lot of anecdotal evidence, but nothing tangible enough to call it fact.My research with experiencers has produced some personal speculation about the Reptilian races. First and foremost, they tolerate humans and only associate with us out of necessity and duty. They have psychokinetic skills and use extrasensory abilities when needed. Several experiencers have described these beings 'getting into their psyche' to obtain information, sometimes controlling their physical movements and mental processes. For the most part, these Reptilians cannot be trusted and are agenda-driven. The majority of distinct Reptilian races encountered by witnesses include Booteans, Buttahs, and Saurian-type human shapeshifters that go by various names.I make no claims that this is a complete commentary. Only that I am presenting information established through my research and investigations.
