When does the storm surge normally hit? I ask because if it’s making landfall at 7am, isn’t that usually around high tide? And wouldn’t that make it worse?
Last time a hurricane went from west to east was 1888 apparently. In addition to that it's 4th most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic.
Yeah if it's already a high tide it's gonna be much, much worse. It's a literal recipe for disaster.
Been watching this guy stream who was on the BBC yesterday, some kind of storm hunter
Best wishes to all affected Cafites hope you can stay safe this looks scary.
Tides generally shift forwards 50mins per day so there’s no “usual” time for high tide.
Get on Reed Timmer as well, guy is all over any kind of weather especially Tornadoes.
The parents of the young kids in Key West need to get them out of there.
The tornados on the west coast of Florida look terrifying.
Milton looks like it be closer to Tampa, easterly turn isnt happening yet.

Stay safe Cafards.
Guy on the news I had on said he spoke to someone who believes the hurricane is being geo engineered by the political opposition or some shit...
How could anyone possibly believe that.

Now this is an application I hadn’t thought of for unmanned vehicles; cool stuff.
Thanks for the info.
High tide is 6:51am in Tampa Thurs AM local - that is not good
The guy I'm watching thinks it will hit Osprey
Look after yourselves everyone who might be affected.
Stay safe!!
Stay safe!!
wow
I unfortunately have to use a few social media platforms at work. The stuff I’ve seen on there about the hurricane these past few days beggars belief. It should make me angry, but instead makes me sad. However this storm pans out, I hope lives aren’t lost due to disinformation.
There is some guy on TikTok posting stuff from Tampa saying the Hurricane is all a hoax !!!! WTF are theses people on !
Good luck
The tornadoes from this thing are on another level
It'll happen soon enough.
Looking at at a YouTube weather channel now, crazy. Stay safe anyone in Florida.
Wife’s aunt and her husband are staying in Tampa. Decided to get and stay drunk. She called my MIL to say goodbye this afternoon. Her husband is a massive Trumper and did not want to leave and she won’t press him on it. Insanity
Hope as many people as possible got out asap. I was just in Sarasota last month and have friends in Tampa and Naples.
A beautiful place but with how the climate is, and will be in the future, im not sure how people can cope living there when they know that inevitabile their homes will be wiped out.

Really sad. I hope they get very lucky.
How do they get the news reporters out of harm's way?
Anderson Cooper out there in Bradenton looking like a drowned rat.

and chance emergency services could drag her out and leave him to his fate?
Hit land as a cat 3 apparently
Why? They chose to stay. Her sisters and children called and that did not change their minds. My in laws are a 6 hour drive away in GA and offered to host them and give them all the booze they wanted. Nope. I hope they make it but I don’t want any emergency responders to take a risk to intervene.
Sorry to hear it's that bad.
One landed 5 miles away from my mother in West Palm. It’s scary when you can’t do anything from up here to help.
