Sorry, you are just wrong < I realize that you like to be expert on almost everything >.A simple google search would do you good.
Also reading what i said is also helpful. I said while anything in its direct path will be hit hard (wouldn’t be good were my actual words), storms these size don’t create the wide spread storm surge and raining. That is absolutely true, btw
More area of a storm, the more ocean it is pushing inland (wide spread) and the larger the storm the longer the winds are pushing the ocean (impact in specific areas).
My wife and I have paid attention to this Orlando meteorologist since we were down there for the last hurricane. He has said all the stuff I posted here, which i looked up to verify
so we are not googling. ok.Sorry, you are just wrong < I realize that you like to be expert on almost everything >.
FWIW: I've been through a more Hurricanes in my lifetime than your cursory Orlando experience and as a retiree , I've had plenty of time to watch the weather channels today (it impacts me directly).
To your incorrect point--it won't hit the Coast narrowly as you suggest as the Weather Channel is suggesting that this storm will expand greatly as it gets to the Coast (thus, surge and wind field from Naples up to north of Tampa).
This is a 100 year type storm that has reached wind levels almost never experienced in the Gulf/Atlantic Basin and with storm surge targeted to be significant along almost the entire West Coast of Florida (graph below from National Hurricane Center).
As noted, Milton will impact almost the entire Florida peninsula through winds, storm surge, power failures and rain (ie Jax could get 18") with major damage/storm surge not only on the West Coast but also to the East Coast including Daytona Beach through Jax up to SE Ga.
The only densely populated area in Florida that will miss most of the challenges will be the Miami area (people in jeopardy need to go there or more preferably to Atlanta and definitely not to Orlando. Orlando is typically is not a good city to be during major Hurricanes due to flooding coupled with usual significant tree damage...south Fl does much better because their Palm tree profiles handle wind much better).
NHC's latest graph: Naples to Tampa will see storm surges that are both life threatening and also residence damaging.

"weaken" = 125+ mph which just means the wind, surge and rain will expand greatly at landfall and impact millions.so we are not googling. ok.
good thing front is supposed to hit this thing and weaken it before it gets to florida.
Not to take it back to the storm but…
Thursday morning the city of Tampa Bay is going to be decimated by Category 5 Hurricane Milton, a once in a century storm, then 36 hours later we’re are going to turn around and host the Lightning in our home opener and have all our branding and crowd hype like “get ready for a Category 5 storm! There’s a hurricane coming!” and whatever.
Very darkly funny and bad. It’s a Curb premise.
posted this in another OP, but Tampa is flying to Raleigh and practicing after the Canes on Wed and Thursday. There is a possibility that we play them here versus Tampa on Saturday on Sunday.Not to take it back to the storm but…
