Is it typical for a hurricane to form in the gulf and move eastward like that?

I don't know.

I do remember back in the 70's & 80's that when a hurricane was in the Caribbean it was time to start tracking the longitude and latitude
We didn't know back then where it would go

Hurricane Elena back in 1985 was heading toward Tampa Florida and changed direction and hit Mississippi

86° and sunny. SIL is now safely with us. Her house is directly in the path of Milton where the winds and storm surge will be the highest. Looks like now the new forecast is calling for 15' of water at her house.

Praying

I am absolutely done with this nonsense. It's October, we should be mid 90's F right now.

And we should be in the mid 20Cs! We had a week of warmth in September, then 28C a few days ago, now back down to the teens and we seem stuck under a polar air mass. It actually feels more like winter now than it did in July or August. It was always hot for the Bathurst car race long weekend, first weekend in October. These days it's not unheard of to have the heating on even in December.

Thunderstorms bring threat of supercells to Queensland and NSW with destructive winds and hail​

4 hours ago​

By ABC meteorologist Tom Saunders​

The first major outbreak of spring thunderstorms is firing up this week across Queensland and north-east NSW.

The spell of stormy days will peak this afternoon with a severe storm risk over a broad region from the Central Highlands, through south-east Queensland down to northern NSW.

Today's storm risk includes the chance of rotating supercells, the rarest and most intense category of thunderstorm, capable of producing destructive winds, giant hail and torrential rain.

Severe weather season underway​

Atmospheric conditions across eastern Australia this week are typical for the beginning of the severe weather season which runs from October to April.

The most severe thunderstorm prone regions are south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales due to the areas' optimal location on the boundary between warm, humid air off the Coral Sea undercutting waves of colder and drier air which arrives from the south.

The contrasting slabs of air have already produced hail around the Sunshine Coast on Monday, followed by a more widespread afternoon of severe thunderstorms across south-east Queensland on Tuesday.

Yesterday's storms dropped up to 29mm of rain in one hour across Brisbane in the middle of the afternoon, and produced hail at Thornlands, Ipswich and Loganholme.

Later in the afternoon a storm just north of Brisbane soaked Beerburrum with a 41mm deluge in just 20 minutes.

Hail, heavy rain and damaging winds hit parts of south-east Queensland on Tuesday, as the weather bureau forecasts the next three months will be wetter and warmer than average.

Trees were brought down at Logan, south of Brisbane, and there were more than 60,000 lightning strikes by 3:30pm on Tuesday.

Large hail fell across the Scenic Rim, while Brisbane recorded about 15 millimetres in an hour.

Monday
Sonia Alcorn, who lives at Kooralbyn in the Scenic Rim, said the storm hit about 2:20pm and lasted for about five minutes.

"We got a little bit of thunder, and it got very, very dark," she said.

"Then all of a sudden, very, very heavy rain and I could hear the hail on the roof as well.

"I went outside to have a look, and it was really, really windy."

She said it caused her flying fox aviary to be overturned.

"That aviary weighs an absolute ton," she said.

"But it's now upside down — and, luckily, it was empty."

Severe storms are possible in the south-east on Wednesday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, with the chance of damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rainfall.

I don't know if it's because of the extended 100+ temps or what but the power grid is being taxed far longer than it usually is this time of year and we've been having weird brown outs.

The power doesn't go out completely but it's like there's a significant drop in voltage. Lights pale then flicker on and off. The fridge light stays on but the compressor doesn't. The floor fans stay on but they only operate at about 1/4 of their normal speed. Things like that.

When it happens at night you can see lights going on and off all up and down the street, like the ending of the Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street." Creepy.

I love the Twilight Zone. I'm friends on Twitter with Rod Serling's daughter, Ann, because she noticed I posted a couple of his ads a few times several years ago. I guess she friends up with all of his fans.
