Florida is providing fuel trucks with police escorts. That would be a sight to see going by.

Seeing some rumblings of the forecast track may be moved a little south, it is not making the turn as quickly NE as they were predicting.

Milton is a beast.

Milton is a beast.

Jeez almighty. That thing just looks terrifying. Hard to imagine what is in store for tomorrow night in Tampa.

 

[Carolina Fever]

Yeah, he is starting to hulk up again.

That is good for Tampa

He has worked so hard creating this hurricane. Give him a break.

Maybe, maybe not

Hitting 20-30 miles south of Tampa Bay likely dramatically changes (reduces) the storm surge in the Tampa Bay area…….this storm is going to be devastating, regardless.

 

[Zoo_View]

10-foot (and that looked more 6-8 feet than 10-foot) fence in a 10-15 foot storm surge in 165 mph winds?
