I already had one cousin flooded out by Helene at the north end of Tampa Bay. Some others might be flooded out now.

From that map I’m wondering if Milton and Leslie combine and turn north-northwest right into DC....

[Harpotoo]

Let US all pray somehow it swerves south and hits Cuba and not Florida!

[Magnum44]

Prayers up for Floridians in general and Florida man in particular!

I would add that the storm surge can be engineered out: I’ve seen the dykes near Leyden: the land is so far below sea level that the dyke must be 10 stories tall on the landward side. Absolutely massive, built over the past couple of hundred years. The windmills are there to pump rainwater out.

Now there's a confirmed tornado, actually a 'water spout,' moving on shore in Collier county, Floriday. Prayers UP!

I am about 50 miles east of Tampa and am right in the current path for the eye. I regret that I don't have "Florida Man Beer" to ride out the storm. The can design has an alligator, trailer that is on fire and though there is no hurricane, when your trailer is destroyed by Hurricane Milton, you will see the alligators.

LOL That actually looks like me and my cousins during a tropical storm back in the 70s when the water in the streets was only knee deep.

10 to 15 ft storm surge in Tampa would be absolutely catastrophic and would put Katrina to shame

We live near the Anclote River but outside the evac zone. Hoping Milton will stay south.

A hurricane is like a divorce. There is incredible noise and screeching and then you lose your trailer.

You have a future as a country song writer. lol

This site is kind of interesting.

You can watch it Live on Zoom.Earth .

This one is good too. You can select viewing options on the left. When Wind Speed is selected, you can place your cursor on the eye wall of Milton in various locations to see the windspeed. 10 meters above the ground, the windspeed isn't that fast right now - so you can vary altitude and other factors.
