Safe to say you wrecked that chick?
OT: Another storm gonna whack FL
- Thread starter MtNittany
- Start date
As my little redneck co-worker from Martin County would say - "Danggggg"
New tornado warning west of Jupiter Farms near the Bee Line Highway (ironically making a bee line for Indiantown). One on the ground in Indian River Co. They keep coming. Don't remember seeing this many tornadoes in front of a storm.

Future radar seems like Bradenton/Sarasota takes the eyewall at landfall. Outside chance Milton pushes the eye right up Tampa Bay which would be devastating. My money is on Bradenton taking the hit.
Lots of discussion on storm2k about the forward speed screwing up the landfall location prediction
If it does make the turn, I think it will be a big one - pushing the east coast exit point south to nearly outside their cone - like Indian River County maybe?....and bringing Lake O more into play.
Another warning for Tradition in Port St. Lousy just issued. 2 tornado touchdowns in Martin County near I-95.
Definitely picking up speed.... lots of future radar shows the eye landfall now around 7pm maybe 8pm. Will be interesting to watch.
An actual good Met on local WPB station (Vanessa Vinent) is concerned about the tornado bands down in Big Cypress heading right to eastern PB, Broward, Martin, etc. counties.
BTW. Vanessa is not only smart (older picture).
One on the ground in PSL I think they said Gordy Rd. Just north of PGA Golf Village.
My phone is blowing up with warnings... tornadoes are everywhere on the ground currently.
Winds in St. Pete awhile ago were ENE winds and the bay was emptying. That can change of course, but I think the bay skates by again.
This is unbelievable--I am just a casual weather follower, but I don't ever remember seeing this many tornado warnings.
Stay safe everyone--I know I'm a dick, but my thoughts/prayers are with you.

The American Sign interpreters you are seeing at these briefings (or remotely), are first-rate, just saying. It was my job to teach higher mathematics using that language, the best gig ever.
After running south of the forecast track for hours, he is now north of it. Tampa mets starting to fear the turn is coming too late
He's 23.3 miles NNE of the forecast line, so the turn is going to have to be sharper to get him there.
I think Bradenton/Anna Maria, not that it's a huge difference from Sarasota
I'm wondering if the forecast holds of it moving more east once it makes landfall versus the NE track it's riding right now. If it continued NE when it hits land, it might give me a little of the eye in Orlando or even put us on the south side of the storm. As it is right now at 6pm, the rain hasn't been as bad here as it has in many other places.
Official landfall - Siesta Key. Our Sarasota home is a little bit inland from Siesta Key and where my wife is sheltering in place. Right now in the midole of the eye. I am at our other home in Poinciana and awaiting the eye in a couple of hours.
Had to stay here for repair work so I could not get back to Sarasota in enough time to beat the hurricane.

I got lucky here in Naples. Just some strong gusts and rain. Cleanup will be mild. Of course, my gain is someone else’s loss, and my thoughts are with those in Sarasota and Tampa tonight.
I almost moved to Florida, but decided not to go. I am glad I didn't pull the trigger.
With global warming, I believed this would only serve to exacerbate the intensity and frequency of hurricanes in the warm coastal areas.
It hit 2 1/2 hours ago. Siesta Key.
Being south of the bay, Tampa area avoided what could have been catastrophic storm surge.
Clearwater Beach getting plenty of wind and rain, but won't get catastrophic level damage.
I would say you're more of a C**T, but proclaiming yourself a dick is a good start.
