Declaration In North Carolina

By Paulina Dedaj | Fox News
Tropical Storm Florence drew closer to the East Coast overnight and was expected to reach hurricane strength Sunday -- possibly becoming a major hurricane thereafter, forecasters said early Saturday.
The approaching storm prompted North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper to declare a state of emergency, a step that makes resources available for addressing the storm's effects.

Gov. Cooper declares state of emergency ahead of tropical storm:

"It's still too early to know the storm's path, (but) we know we have to be prepared" for #Florence, which once was a Category 4 hurricane and is getting stronger againhttps://buff.ly/2wUuYRt #ncwx #ncpol #ncgov

Hurricane Michael gets stronger as it heads for the USA mainland.

"Mandatory evacuation orders and school closures were issued on Monday in the Florida Panhandle as Hurricane Michael was expected to strengthen rapidly before slamming into the state on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) and county officials said.

Michael was currently a Category 1 hurricane but could become a Category 3 storm by Tuesday on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, with winds of at least 100 miles per hour (160 km per hour). The hurricane was predicted to dump up to 12 inches (30 cm) of rain with life-threatening flash flooding, according to forecasters. Storm surges of 2 to 12 feet (0.6 to 3.7 meters) were also expected.

Florida Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in more than 20 counties along the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend. Scott advised Gulf Coast residents to prepare for possible evacuation orders, and he put more than 5,000 National Guard soldiers on alert."

"We are running out of time. TODAY is the day to get a plan, because tomorrow could be too late. It is critical that you take care of yourself, your family, and your business as Hurricane Michael approaches FL," Scott wrote on Twitter on Monday

Here are two C-130 Hurricane Hunter Flights into Hurricane Michael's path:
Flt#1777 - KDYS (Dyess AFB, TX) to KVPS (Elgin AFB, FL)
Flt#1778 - MUGM (Guantanamo Bay NAS, Cuba) to KVPS (Elgin AFB, FL)

My rights to submit flights has been removed, unknown to me and without notifications. The flights below cannot be loaded into the Military Contract Trial. My apologies to all effected. I guess the two months that I have spent in the hospital (Oct - Nov '18) serve as a reminder "Out of sight (or voice) - Out of mind!"
I am sorry if I made anyone upset at my actions.

Tasmanian bushfires: 500 firefighters battle scores of blazes as temperature set to soar
Personnel, including some from interstate and New Zealand, are trying to keep communities safe and tackle about 50 fires still raging

Scores of Tasmanian residents were told to brace to defend their homes against uncontrolled fires or leave as blazes raged across the state on Sunday.
The Great Pine Tier fire has burned about 40,000 hectares, with the eastern edge of Lake Echo, south of Shannon, Waddamana, Synots Sugarloaf and Bashan Plains issuing the highest warning alert on Sunday afternoon.
Another fire raging out of control at Riveaux Road, Southwest also forced an emergency warning alert for Lonnavale, Glen Huon, Judbury and Bermuda Road.

Here are two C-130 Firefighter Support Flights into effected areas of the Tasmanian bushfires:
Flt#1779 – YLVT (Laverton Military) to YMLT (Launceston)
Flt#1780 – YMLT (Launceston) to YLVT (Laverton Military)
