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.

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.

Right now both our homes are right along the center line. But it’s 3 days away, so anything can happen.

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.

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.

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.
