Starting to think Jacksonville isn’t the best place to be either.


I am about 30 mins south of jacksonville and the main thing that will happen here will be the backwash of the st. John's river and the hurricane causing flooding along the coast of St.Augustine and area beaches that are prone to flooding when these events happen. We definitely avoided the big bullet with the last hurricane but won't be that lucky this time I expect alot of rain and flooding on this side of Florida.

I'm currently with family in disney till Friday. Wondering if we should call the vacation early and head out tomorrow sometime. Staying in Disney so maybe we'll be OK if we stay?


I would leave this area. I do believe the last hurricane (I think it was Irma) that cut across the state like this caused severe flooding all across Orlando. If I had family I will get the hell out of there before you get stuck.

ETA: It was Hurricane IAN in 2022

Nope. Irma came in down by San Marcos island and chugged up the state. It crossed I-4 at Plant City, 40-45 miles from Disney, and a little more than 50 miles from Orlando. The 11 pm update puts the eye track 35-ish miles from Disney.

Looks like its hitting a bit later than the previous track stated and looks like cone is shrinking alittle more each time.

Ian was bad. Flooding left thousands homeless around southern Polk County, flooded Olando, then went and washed the beach out from under a bunch of beach houses south of Daytona.

This is all in addition to what it did in SW Florida.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key Messages for Hurricane Milton can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header
WTNT44 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml

STORM SURGE: A storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 2
to 4 feet above ground level along the northern coast of the
Yucatan Peninsula in areas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the
surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.

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...

Anclote River, FL to Englewood, FL...8-12 ft
Tampa Bay...8-12 ft
Yankeetown, FL to Anclote River, FL...5-10 ft
Englewood, FL to Bonita Beach, FL...5-10 ft
Charlotte Harbor...5-10 ft
Bonita Beach, FL to Chokoloskee, FL...4-7 ft
Suwannee River, FL to Yankeetown, FL...3-5 ft

Follow guidance from your local city and county officials on evacuation. I know it’s a tough decision to leave - believe me, I’ve been there many times.

If evacuation is only recommended and you have any doubt in your mind, just leave. The aftermath is almost always worse than the storm itself.

Several feet of surge plus waves on top of that is not something to take a chance on.

Good luck and I hope minimal impact to those of you in Florida.
