A 9am EDT update from the National Hurricane Center puts Melissa's sustained winds at 180 mph and moving NNE at 7 mph towards Jamaica, where it is expected to make landfall within the next few hours. Visit hurricanes.gov for the latest.
1. Jamaica: Remain sheltered! Catastrophic flash flooding, landslides, and destructive winds will continue through today, causing widespread infrastructure damage, power and communication outages, and isolated communities. Total structural failure is possible near the path of Melissa’s center. Along the southern coast, life-threatening storm surge and damaging waves are expected through the day. Failure to act may result in serious injury or loss of life. 2. Haiti and the Dominican Republic: Catastrophic flash flooding and landslides are expected across southwestern Haiti and southern portions of the Dominican Republic through midweek. In Haiti, extensive damage and isolation of communities is likely. Tropical storm conditions are expected later today and Wednesday. 3. Eastern Cuba: Heavy rainfall, flash flooding and landslides are expected soon. Life-threatening storm surge and damaging winds are likely to begin later today. Complete all preparations now. 4.

A tropical wave is gradually becoming better organized and is likely to become a tropical depression or storm over the central Caribbean Sea during the next few days.
7-day tropical weather outlook for Oct 20, 2025. A disturbance in the central Caribbean has a 90% chance of development, highlighted in red.

An NC-135 is up 😮 From the wiki, it looks like this one does Astronomy missions as well. Looking for space debris perhaps?

Multiple watches and warnings out there this afternoon. Do you know the difference?

A Tornado WATCH means Be Prepared.
A Tornado WARNING means Take Action!
weather.gov/safety/tornado-ww
1. a Tornado Watch mean be prepared. A Tornado Watch is issued when a tornado is possible. Know your safe place, such as a storm shelter, basement, or interior hall away from windows, and be prepared to act if a Warning is issued. 2. A Tornado Warning means take action! A Tornado Warning is issued when a tornado is happening or about to happen. Immediately seek shelter in your safe place!

'Mornin Aviators 😎✈️ The KC-135U (as in Uniform) is up!
The OG of flying signal stations — an airborne comms & ELINT platform that’s basically a wireless observatory with wings.
You can imagine I’m a fan. 😉

It's interesting, and a little surprising, to hear news of Electra's selection of UK-based Evolito for their electric power system, with all hardware to be built/assembled in the UK at Evolito's Bicester, Oxfordshire facility. More with link. | 🛩️ ⚡️ 📰 🥇 | 🧵 1/2 | 🔗 www.electra.aero/news/electra...
A graphic of a translucent Electra EL9 showing the hybrid-electric propulsion system, which appears in blue, all on a black background. The blue components include the motors in the eight nacelles on the leading edge of the wing, the battery pack in the fuselage near the centre of gravity and below the passenger compartment, along with the « turbogenerator » which is mounted aft of the passenger compartment toward the tail. These three main components are labelled with lettering on a black background. In the top left corner of the graphic, the words « Hybrid Electric Propulsion » in bold, white letters. (📸 Electra)

The future of air travel is electric. All-electric planes are taking flight for pilot training, air taxi service and regional travel. They produce zero emissions, are quieter than conventional aircraft and are cheaper to operate.
