Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A new hurricane, which was named "Oscar", has formed in the Atlantic Ocean. This was reported on October 19 by the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).

An interactive map on the government agency's website states that the wind speed in the hurricane zone is reaching about 36 meters per second. It is moving west, covering 19 kilometers every hour.
about 12 mph
The NHC and other U.S. agencies have not yet issued a severe storm warning for the hurricane.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the evening of October 9, another hurricane (Milton) hit the coast of the American state of Florida. In anticipation of it, the authorities carried out a mass evacuation, affecting more than 5.5 million people. This operation became one of the largest in the history of the state.

Milton caused powerful tornadoes and heavy rains in Florida. The hurricane caused major destruction in the state. In October, another powerful hurricane, Helene, hit the US. Hundreds of people died.

#3 This storm has already been demoted from Hurricane to Tropical Storm. It will likely dissipate in the N Atlantic in the next 3 days.

It is quite unlikely that a tropical storm will make landfall in the US in the next two weeks. I would guess well below 1%.

There will, however, likely be a tropical storm in the East Pacific in the next few days but almost certainly it will come nowhere near making landfall in the US.

#4 No chance it could head North and impact near Alexandria to put the Potomac River 35 feet over flood stage ?

No chance. Zero. Strong westerly winds in the mid latitudes near the US east coast.

#6 Yes, it's still hurricane season. Thru November. And that's a guess at best. (New England Christmas storms, anyone?)
