Despite its location in the desert, Washington County isn't a "desert" for wildlife viewers. Its unique landscapes and varying habitats create great conditions for a wide variety of feathered species just waiting to be captured in a would-be birder's binoculars.

"Washington County is an amazing place," said Red Cliffs Audubon Society Vice President Paul Hicks. "Great variety of birds. There's more species seen in Washington County than any other county in the state and it's just because it's so diverse in habitats, and birds are very tied to habitat."

ST. GEORGE, Utah — There isn’t an ice rink in St. George, but that doesn't mean there aren’t hockey fans or players in southern Utah.

Using leftover hockey equipment and players on rollerblades or on foot instead of skates, one group has built up a hockey club of more than 300 players from ages 4 to 70.

The group plays on an ad hoc rink at J.C. Snow Park.

"There was a group that used to play anywhere we could find space. So it would be parking lots, it would be all over the place in parks and whatnot," said Cory Henwood, co-director of Red Rock Hockey. "So we ended up building this facility and looking to expand it here in the coming months."

The hockey boards came from the Glacier, an ice hockey rink in Cedar City that closed in 2020. A new ice arena, KJ's Ice Barn, opened in Enoch last week.

Henwood, whose day job is as a trainer in the Iron County School District, helped start the Red Rock Hockey Club, With temperatures still in the 90s, it doesn’t feel like hockey weather, but he said there’s always time for hockey on the ad hoc rink at J.C. Snow Park.

"We're just providing an opportunity, a gateway, if you will, to become a fan of hockey. And with the Utah Hockey Club coming along, we're really excited about that and our kids are, too," he said.

Eighteen-year-old Red Rock Hockey player Colin Brooks was a football guy but got hooked once he had a stick, and hopes just going to a Utah Hockey Club game will hook people in.

"It's so fast, so fast-paced. I don't think they're ready for the speed," he said. "It's going to be out there constant."

Among those practicing was Gabe Gauthier, who played in the NHL for the Los Angeles Kings then developed youth hockey programs for both the Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights, and now as the coach of the Southern Utah Yeti junior team. He believes it will take effort among youth for the Utah Hockey Club to establish itself.

"...the biggest thing that they need to focus in on is the grassroots part of it. That's where hockey, I believe, is the greatest sport because of that development in the youth," Gauthier said.

A majority of the players and fans in southern Utah say their NHL loyalty remains with the Golden Knights, who are closer to St. George than the Delta Center. But there may still be room for Utah to get into the young and old hearts and minds here.

Milton Still a Monster Storm, Florida Landfall Expected Late Wednesday

Major Hurricane Milton has started its trek to the northeast towards the Florida Peninsula. After reaching maximum sustained winds of 180 mph on Monday, Milton will slowly weaken until landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday along the west-central coast of Florida. However, it will still be extremely dangerous and a major hurricane at landfall, posing a significant threat to life and property. It is the last full day for residents to get their families and homes ready and to evacuate if told to do so by local officials.

As of 1 p.m. CDT, Major Hurricane Milton was located near 22.5 N and 88.2 W, or about 125 miles northeast of Progreso, Mexico, and 520 miles southwest of Tampa, Fla. Milton is traveling east-northeast at 8 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph, making it a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The storm also has a central pressure of 923 mb or 27.26 inches of mercury.

Major Hurricane Milton is expected to maintain its current intensity today, likely remaining a high-end Category 4 or even low-end Category 5 hurricane. It will gradually begin to weaken late today or early Wednesday and will continue to weaken until landfall late Wednesday night or early Thursday. This is due to the storm encountering drier air and stronger wind shear along a stalled cold front. As drier air moves into it, Milton will also expand in size as it approaches the west coast of Florida. The cold front will also cause Milton to make a turn to the northeast and its forward speed will also accelerate.

Milton will most likely make landfall on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning over or very close to the Tampa metro area. The most likely scenario would also be for Milton to be a low to mid-end Category 3 hurricane at landfall. From there, it will zip across Florida Thursday morning and enter the Atlantic Ocean by midday or early afternoon. Milton will likely weaken to a Category 2 hurricane over the Florida Peninsula by Thursday morning, then continuing to weaken to a Category 1 hurricane over the Atlantic Ocean. It will most likely lose its tropical characteristics completely by early Friday and should be a post-tropical cyclone as it tracks to the south of Bermuda.

Regardless of the exact track and strength of Milton, it will bring extreme to catastrophic impacts to central Florida, especially along the west-central coast near Tampa.

The outer bands of Milton are expected to bring 2 to 4 inches of rain across portions of the northern Yucatan Peninsula, western Cuba and the Florida Keys. However, isolated totals up to 6 inches cannot be ruled out. Heavy rainfall streaming ahead of the storm may begin impacting parts of Florida between the I-4 and I-75 corridors on Wednesday, with more significant rainfall associated with the storm expected Wednesday night into Thursday morning. By the time Milton passes, rain gauges could be up to 6 to 12 inches, with isolated totals up to 18 inches possible. This rainfall will lead to life-threatening flash and urban flooding along with moderate to major river flooding.

Storm surge will be dangerous, especially to the northeast of the center of Milton. The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide:

Tropical storm-force winds (39-73 mph) will begin across western Florida starting late morning or afternoon on Wednesday and will spread southwest-to-northeast through Wednesday evening. Hurricane-force (>74 mph) will be found closer to the center of Milton where it makes landfall on Wednesday evening and very early Thursday morning. Peak sustained winds of 85-110 mph and wind gusts of 100-130 mph will be likely, with isolated, briefly higher winds possible. Winds will slowly ease for the rest of Thursday.

As if that wasn't enough, a few tornadoes or waterspouts will be likely as Milton comes ashore. This threat for tornadoes or waterspouts begins late tonight across central and southern Florida and will continue through Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.

Residents along the Florida Gulf Coast, especially those in low-lying areas, should begin preparing for potential impacts from Milton, including heavy rainfall, life-threatening storm surge, and strong winds. Coming just two weeks after Hurricane Helene ravaged the Cedar Key-Tampa Bay region, be sure to not allow hurricane fatigue to prevent you from taking this system extremely seriously.
