All that surge energy get pushed upward as the ocean floor rises. A shallow bay will push all that energy and water up and out into surrounding areas designed and built around it that expect protection from storms.
A storm surge straight into a bay especially sinister. Lots of boats and structures expect safety, and they’ll get the opposite.
We moved off Anna Maria Island about 5 years ago but still live in the area. Zones A, B, and C mandatory evacuations. We are in D. Just in from shuttering home. Gonna hunker down!
A dropsonde just measured 216 mph winds just above the surface.
Nuts? That guy is looney tunes. He makes a flat earther look like Copernicus. That dude is dead. I hope someone with some sense talks him out of that.
It's pretty close to the northern edge of the Yucatan. Maybe that will lower the windspeed a bit from the current 180. But there still plenty of water once it gets away from brushing the land.
You have family in the Tampa area. My wife checked on them today. My niece said that there is a solid line of traffic going out of town and there was no gas anywhere.
I think they may have a gas problem. Maybe it was just in one area on the north side of town.

Glad it will stay away from Mississippi. We've already been involved in 2 historical super hurricanes with heavy loss of life and property.
We’re just north of Tampa and getting ready. Shutters put up and hoping it veers south and weakens. It’s nothing but red and yellow heading north on every road here. Luckily our house was just built a few years ago so it’s got all the coding to withstand a Cat 3. It is going to be bad wherever it hits.
You have turned Dawg61-level insufferable.***

Please keep us informed. We will be praying for you,
My elderly parents live in Palm Bay, which maps are showing the eye going directly over. My dad is mostly immobile, so they’ll be riding it out. Asking prayers for them. Thanks!
Any trees close to your house? That's what destroyed the houses in Panama City.
Here's a picture I took 6 days after Hurricane Michael.

Milton reached a pressure reading of 897mb earlier, which made it the 5th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record.
Good news is that it has slightly weakened since then.

Not directly beside. We’re in one of those communities where we aren’t right on top of each other. Got wetlands/preserve on the other side of the lake behind on our house but if those trees hit us then we got major problems everywhere.
If you had kept your tin foil hat on you would know the answer to this question.
