Hopefully they are right about it losing power before US landfall, although a cat 3 is still no fun.

Plus they are still digging out from Helene which was just a week ago

I hope to hell that it does weaken.

I believe they are already there. It may get postponed.

My brother lives in Charlotte county which looks like it may be in the worst place south of landfall. He pretty much just recovered from Hurricane Ian that directly hit there.

He has lived there over 30 years and rarely had hurricane issues until Ian and now Milton, global warming maybe making hurricanes worse than ever before? He thinks he's going to be done with Florida after this storm.

I hope he stays safe and hopefully it won’t be bad where he is! A lot of people just finished recovery from Ian. It is just heartbreaking to watch. Global warming is a major reason why we are seeing more powerful storms. Water temperatures in the gulf are almost 90 degrees which wasn’t a case 30 years ago.

This video is really helpful in understanding why Milton is tracking towards Florida

Todays my day off I told work id come in so I can train more but I dont think so. Havent heard any news about the next few days either. With the coastline evacuating I dont see the point.

My sister suggested we all go up there but my parents said no.

My father is confident with how these communities are built and how they just spent thousands on storm windows that we will be fine

Weather events always have me anxious can’t exactly fight or even sometimes escape weather

Coco the puff

..but you can avoid the worst of it. Do it, if not for yourself, for the sake of Coco. Seriously, spending thousands on storm windows isn't going to prevent the damage of a major hurricane, the surge is dangerous as we have seen. Good luck, be smart!
