OT: Another storm gonna whack FL
- Thread starter MtNittany
- Start date
Exiting the East coast almost right over my houseLatest Euro Model. Landfall should be Wednesday. Be on your toes and make your preps PSU Floridians.
Moving real slowly, that’s disturbing.
For those in Milton’s path, please be proactive in regards to your safety. Things can go bad quickly.

"RAINFALL: Rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches, with localized totals up to 15 inches, are expected across portions of the Florida Peninsula and the Keys through Wednesday night. This rainfall brings the risk of considerable flash, urban, and areal flooding, along with the potential for moderate to major river flooding."
Then there’s the potential storm surge for those near the beaches and bays.

Just happy it’s not hitting us in NC again. We’ve had so much rain the mosquitoes are a nightmare and keeping me from hunting!
I feel bad for the folks on the west coast and panhandle. My area is still in the cone (barely- Broward county) but don't need the center of the storm to pass overhead to get heavy rain and wind damage.
Two of my kids are in Gainesville... unlike USF and UCF, UF still hasn't made a statement about classes this week. They took some major **** for Helene, where they canceled classes the night before and lots of kids were without power for several days.

I don't remember many west to east storms crossing FL. Lots of east to west ones though. Parts of the west coast are going to get battered. Again. But the east coast could see 90 mph winds. Everything is backwards. The bad/good side of the storm is reversed for the east coast.
I can’t imagine having to evacuate all the time. I sure hope Fl does not get hit too bad.
Hurricane Milton Could Be Worst-Case Scenario For Tampa Bay
Tropical Storm Milton is gathering strength and is expected to become a major hurricane. Here's the latest information about a very dangerous scenario for Florida.

Navy pal retired to a place south of Tampa. There hadn't been a hurricane there in 40 years. Now they've had two in the last three years with another looming.
Best of luck to all of this board’s FLA residents, full time and part time.
I fear what will happen to homeowners insurance rates after Helene and this storm.

I’m down in Naples. Left for Ian but going to ride this one out unless it starts tracking south. Feeling awful for the folks up in Tampa. They’re getting double tapped.
Heard a crazy stat the other day: in the past 8 years, there have been 8 Cat 4 or 5 hurricanes to make landfall in mainland US. There were as many (8) in the prior 57 years.

In 2004 we had 4 in 6 weeks, I believe. Direction immaterial. it still sux. lmao
Jeanne was the worst for me. I feared Andrew more, but it veered way south. Jeanne was moving at 1mph w/ 90mph sustained. That and Frances had me w/out power for about 20 days.In 2004 we had 4 in 6 weeks, I believe. Direction immaterial. it still sux. lmao
Cause it’s the new Mother Nature taking over
It’s the new Splendid lady come to call

or, at least Florida and other parts of the southeast, the Amazon, the extended fire season up north and out west, East Africa, Phoenix with those 100 days, on and on and on and on…..…

Hopefully that low coming down can knock out some of the punch of this storm, but this one looks nasty. A direct west to east hit. My niece is on the road already leaving USF this morning to come up by me in Northeast Florida. Best of luck to those in Milton's path. Be safe.
I didn't see any so my deepest apologies...probably due to the ignore feature!!!!! More Crying James F threads!
We’re going to help our sons when they buy their first home but already told son1 we’re not helping him buy in CA. This uninsured homes thing is gonna bury people
We were talking about this yesterday how all the storms are forming in the Caribbean and GOA (Gulf of America) this year and other than the early season storm nothing has made it across from Africa. Sahara Sands were plentiful this year and lasted much longer than normal (thankfully) due to the massive drought in Africa and kept a lid on storms forming in the Atlantic.
Not just FL everyone absorbs those costs as well as what will rates be in NC/SC/GA as well.
Up to 125mph... another 1.5 days to intensify and hasn't hit the warm water loop yet to really spin up with energy.... Hopefully Helene stirred up enough cooler water and shear that Milton weakens as it nears shore otherwise this should be a Cat 4 when it hits.
Yeah, I occasionally read Michael R Lowry’s substack and he went deep into the Sahara dust complication.
Yes. In my 30 years here, Jeanne was the worst.
Matthew was set up to be catastrophic for the Space Coast, but turned at the last possible minute.
My daughter's wedding at the Marriott on Clearwater Beach on November 9 has already been affected by Helene and is now likely to get a second shot from Milton. Fortunately, she understands that getting upset about nature gets one nowhere. We are hoping the island gets cleaned up enough so the event is able to go on without any other issues.
Hurricane Milton is a Category 5. Florida orders evacuations and scrambles to clear Helene's debris
The most likely path suggests Milton could make landfall Wednesday in the Tampa Bay area and remain a hurricane as it moves across central Florida into the Atlantic Ocean.

925 mb right now. That's a terrifying number. For context, Andrew was 922.

With all the rain this weekend the I4 corridor is all going to take a huge hit with down trees and limbs. Hopefully the St. Johns River doesn't do much either, but from Tampa through Orlando and then on to Daytona I imagine most of the corridor will be without power come Thursday.

Edit: disregard, misread the date
Man, i wish you and your daughter nothing but the best, but i think the chances of doing anything in Clearwater Beach on Wednesday are pretty slim....
Best of luck...

He did say November, but even that is at risk depending on storm surge damage I would think.

Yes. That's why angle of approach and actual landfall location are huge. Tampa needs landfall south of them so the wind isn't piling water into the bay
