Warmer temperatures upcoming in the Midwest has increased a possible North American sighting of Kong and Rodan, but decreased Godzilla and Mothra. Undetermined yet how this will affect Florida. Ghidora remains the wildcard. If he is seen anywhere in the southeast, even down to Bermuda, it will create a kaiju shift to that area.

Overall kaiju chance has decreased slightly to 4.2%.
CEREBRUS HAS MUTATED?!?!?!

I am a tad concerned about the decent sized quakes in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico that are firing up lately.
Magnitude 4.4 today in Nicaragua and Magnitude 5.5 in Colombia earlier this week.
Today's Earthquakes in The Caribbean and Central America
Those, along with several 1.8 to 2.3 quakes in our nearby New Madrid Fault have my anxiety raised regarding our bowl safety.
Earthquakes in New Madrid, Missouri, United States - Most Recent
When combined with the omnipresent risk of the Big One obliterating most of North America, I am concerned.
Today's Earthquakes in Yellowstone Nat. Park, Wyoming
-------------Of course, looking on the bright side of life, if the Big One in Yellowstone lets fly, we won't suffer (much), like the dinosaurs when the Chicxulub Asteroid Strike occurred.

Full disclosure: As grim as the above scenario is becoming, 83Hawk's commentary regarding GHIDORA is far more unsettling!!!

At the present time there are no solid indications that The Big One earthquake will cause the USofA west of the San Andreas Fault to slide off into the Pacific with all the attendant disruptions.
Also, seismic monitoring is not indicating much risk of the Yellowstone Caldera erupting and sending us residents of North America the way of the dinosaurs.
Furthermore, seismic monitoring in Memphis indicates, at least for now, the overdue dislocation of the New Madrid Fault won't occur prior to the Iowa Faithful trekking across it to Tampa.
HOWEVER, seismic monitoring in the Caribbean MOST DEFINITELY presents nonzero risks for The Faithful approaching/attending/departing from the Reliaquest Bowl. Today a 4.2 magnitude quake let fly off the coast of Nicaragua, THIS WEEK a 5.6 quake happened off the coast of Panama, and finally this year a BIG ONE (7.6) threatened civilization in the Cayman Islands near Jamaica!!! My advice is to pray to Jehovah prior to migrating to the Gulf of Mexico's Tampa.

Continued warm weather in the Midwest holds increasing probabilities for Kong and Rodan. The quake off Nicaragua has sparked fears of a Godzilla awakening. Mothra remains steady. Keep an eye on atmospheric conditions which could bring about a Ghidora sighting, though unlikely to be in Florida, so fears remain minimal.

Overall kaiju chances have increased to 4.5%.

The 0.3% increase is unsettling.

How about ocean clarity?
Never thought about that.
It could be a real issue as cloudy seas could mask shark/eel/manta ray/turtle/swamp critter strikes on unsuspecting Iowa fans enjoying the beaches in the dead of winter.

Is it true a python can swim up through your hotel room toilet? Could just be an urban legend.

Not a legend. Many pet-friendly hotels reported missing pets upon guest checkout.

Also, as first reported by Spinal Tap's David St. Hubbins, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not widely reported.

FULL DISCLOSURE:

I am less concerned about seismic and other disasters than I am about THE KAIJU!!!!!!
We don't see a lot of them here on the Great Plains, so most of us don't know how to act when they do appear (cringe/quake/hide).
Hopefully 83Hawk (A) Knows how to cope with THEM, and (B) Will be in Tampa to help the Hawk Faithful survive (at least most of them).

Since it is ramping up around the country, how about an influenza report / outlook? Seems to be an A variant that is a nasty one this time.

Any insect infestations?
I can't really say, as My People are monitoring seismicity.
You might want to consult the Entomology People.

I DO have a few concerns regarding the entities spoken of in Revelation 9:10, however.

Some seismic events to report (to take my mind off of the approaching NC Iowa blizzard):

a. 6 hours ago a 4.4 magnitude quake in El Salvador;
b. 11 hours ago a 4.3 magnitude quake in the Dominican Republic, and
c. Earlier today a (kind of) Big One, a 6.2 quake near Peru (that's kind of close).

Taken as a whole, there is the famous NONZERO CHANCE of a significant quake disrupting travel to/attendance at/travel from the Tampa bowl.
ADVICE: Get right with God and give alms to the poor (always a good idea) prior to heading to Tampa.,

Final kaiju alert…..
Snow, cold and gusty winds in the Midwest have reduced Kong and Mothra chances to near zero. Rodan and Godzilla chances have also gone down, although an unseen change in seismic activity southeast of Florida could still affect it. No unusual atmospheric activity has occurred, so Ghidora had been ruled out.

Overall kaiju outlook has dropped significantly to 2.4%! Hawkeye fans should expect safe travel to Tampa.

The all time classic Canned Heat tune Going Up The Country (brings back MANY memories for this particular Fossil) stated in part,
"So we can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time".

By all means (this is a free country, yet) if any Hawk Devotees want to stay drunk all the time in Tampa, DO SO!
Just. Don't. Jump. In. The. Water!!!
