With regards to that Cat 4 Hurricane Michael in the Gulf; I read
that 25,000 people decided to ride out the storm on a *BARRIER
ISLAND* right in the path of the storm. Given the strength of
what is coming at them; that may very well be the last decision
many of them ever make; if the Galveston Hurricane from 1900
serves as an example...I believe that one took 6000 lives; of
course; there was little or no warning systems available back
then.

It is 26.8 F @ 6:25 AM; the snow is just a few flurries right
now; but it may pick up a bit with the very unstable air and the
considerable residual mid level lingering moisture after
sunrise; the daytime heating is known to work wonders in the
Black Hills when it comes to fueling convective activity. There
is also a new area of snow developing in far western Pennington
County; right along the Wyoming line.

Only added about 1/10th of an inch of snow during the daytime
hours; so the event total comes to 1.8 inches.
You know you live in a cold town when the high temperature for
the day manages to stay below freezing on OCTOBER 10TH!
This place; due to the altitude; has an annual mean close to
those of the towns in the Prairie Provinces of far southern
Canada near the American border.
Monthly Total: 4.2"
Seasonal Total: 4.3"
Chance of some more light snow developing late tomorrow
afternoon!
