SUMMARY: Meteorologist Eric Johnson reports perfect weather for the Coast this week, with mornings in the 60s—10°F below the average—and afternoons in the mid-80s, slightly above normal. Conditions are dry with low humidity, typical for October in South Mississippi. Currently, it’s 78°F in Gulfport with a north wind. In the tropics, Hurricane Milton has intensified, reaching a pressure of 897 millibars, making it the strongest storm in the Gulf in nearly 20 years. Though weakening, Milton’s wind field will expand, heightening storm surge threats for Florida, with potential surges of 10-15 feet expected.

SUMMARY: A giant cockroach Reef, created by Bay Pest Control DMR and the Mississippi Gulf Fishing Banks, has attracted attention on Highway 90 as it sits temporarily at Schooner Pier. While some families enjoy lunch or fishing nearby, they express surprise and admiration for the massive sculpture made from scrap metal. The Reef, intended to boost local fish populations by creating new ecosystems, will be submerged 70 to 100 feet deep about 20 miles offshore in the coming weeks, depending on weather conditions. Before its sinking, visitors have a week to observe this unique piece of art.

The reef rests along Highway 90 for those enjoying Cruisin’ the Coast to indulge themselves in the most common pest in the state.
