We’ve got a friend with Acadian Ambulance. They were in WNC and then drove to Fort Myers yesterday and now are in Tallahassee. I’m confused as to why they didn’t go to Miami/that side of Florida.
Seems like it would have been closer for them to get back after landfall.

I keep seeing these huge thunderstorms in the path of this storm and it almost looks like its keeping this hurricane fueled and keeping dry air out.
We’ve had such a ridiculous amount of rain on the east coast you would’ve thought the the storm had been over us for a week.

Should be pretty mundane in that area. It’s shifted far enough south that it’ll just be breezy and some rain.

Flood insurance is done if Tampa gets 10-15 of storm surge
South of Tampa gonna have to take this one for the sake of entire gulf coast

Hopefully this eyewall replacement cycle combined with the increasing shear puts a pretty significant dent into Milton on approach.

Looking at the satellite and trajectory, I think Tampa will have a big impact. I am guessing landfall near Sarasota or just North of there.
Although, with this current EWRC and the shear above, who REALLY knows. I think it will be clear when Milton regains the eye. Give it a couple hours.

Peej already sealed Tampa's fate.

They just took one 2 years ago that they’re still rebuilding from.

Tampa looks to be dodging a major bullet here.

Morning Ya’ll
Got that boat secure Lanier Spot?
All the wiring looked good in past pix, make the bilge pumps run until the battery fails. Did you pull it out?

Exactly how Katrina came in. Cat 3 with a five plus storm surge. Praying for Florida in this one.
Whoa whoa whoa. Chill the hell out.
Milton has 50 mile wide hurricane wind field in diameter
Katrina had 200
This isn’t comparable AT ALL.

Thanks for your explanation. Just worries me for folks who may have thought they’d be ok now at risk bc no plan But that’s how it is with hurricanes. You don’t know until it’s basically there.

Is on a trailer at the storage yard but its in the eye just a few miles inland. Under a new cover and surrounded by RV's. Hope they can block for it. I put blocks around the tires but honestly, thats about all I can do.
Thanks for asking.
I have one more board to put up on my front door this morning and thats it. I waited till the last min to do that so we could use that door the last couple of days. I think its time to put it up now. Just have that and a few chairs around my pool and Lanai.

Milton is starting to get beat on by that shear
Winds are even more asymmetrical now with the shear

Everyone in Louisiana and the Northern Gulf coast should be thanking their lucky stars for these two timely cold fronts that saved our arse with both these storms.

Yeah
Katrina came in La/miss border but storm surge was felt all the way to gulf shores alabama. It is still the all time high water mark in Mobile bay- 120 miles east of landfall.
Nonetheless- Milton will be a very serious event for those along the entire western Florida coastline

The wind field is going to get much larger at it will be impacted by shear/cold front. It’s been predicted to do that for days now.
