@@tina-g8p please stay safe and evacuate if you have to, but don’t wait too late! I hear the interstate is crazy right now we have mandatory evacuation in even some of our neighborhoods in Fort Myers that are all the Caloosahatchee river and if you get a direct hit it be catastrophic, so please take precautions.

Florida home insurance will now cost more than the mortgage. If anyone can even find insurance. Time for me to sell and get the F out of here before homes have zero value.
Left South Florida 7 years ago. Don’t miss the worry & the nightmarish evacuations. No wonder the Northern States home values are skyrocketing. People are quietly leaving FL.
I lived here in South Florida during Hurricane Andrew. My home was spared, but when we drove 45 miles down to Miami, it looked like a bomb had hit Homestead. Words do not express the scenario that unfolded down there. My prayers go out to everyone down here! I'm surprised they told us before the storm hits how strong it actually is. They never told us how strong Andrew was until after it hit. You can feel a change in the atmosphere right before it hits. Generally, pets will get very upset. If your pet comes to you and start crying, they know it's coming (the eye). My cat did that to me before the eye of Wilma passed through our neighborhood. Praying God will keep us all safe. 🙏🙏🙏 EDIT: When Wilma came, it passed through the West Coast and then came to the East Coast where I live. You know what? The storm never lost strength. We had cat. 3, 120 MPH winds pass through our neighborhood. If you live on the East Coast and around Orlando, don't think by the time it gets to you that it won't be as strong. That's what I thought and never prepared. I'm glad my house was spared, but I saw some homeless people hitchhiking and asking for help after that storm. Everyone please stay safe and take this seriously!
😳 I knew this would happen. I told so many people that when I moved back to Florida earlier this year. And they're reactions were "Yeah... We heard that before." @@OrganNLou
No Camille did not. Hurricane Camille had 175 mile an hour winds sustained for 1 minute. Hurricane Rita had 180. And Labor Day storm of 1935 had 185 which was the most powerful in the Gulf. Don't post false information
RE the yellow blob that "just popped up off Florida'. I live in Port St. Lucie - our radar shows some rotation to the low pressure dumping rain on us now. Perhaps this system, not Milton, is the issue
Another tid bit in your trivia column; there is a small town (pop. 10,000) in the Florida Panhandle named Milton. Milton should feel little, if any, effects from Milton. Thankfully, it's near peak intensity now and is expected to weaken before landfall. Still, a Cat 3 is a Major Hurricane and would be catastrophic if the core crosses a heavily populated area like the Tampa Bay Area. I feel bad for the flock of birds in the eye. I've heard of that happening in other hurricanes. It's hard to believe the will survive the trip across the Gulf. Glad to hear my storm, Michael, mentioned. If you went by most discussions of tropical weather you'd conclude Cat 5 Michael didn't happen.
I am in southern MO, and we had Hurricane Ike here in 2008, and 90 mph wind this far inland. We had a lot of damages from it. I understand that Ike went inland for 11 states. I have been in other hurricanes, including Agnes in PA, and Allen in TX. Prayers for all of you down there.
@scarletsletter4466 The 175 mph for Milton is max sustained winds. The claim was no such storm hit land in last decade, and I showed otherwise. Keep moving the goalposts to entertain yourself.
Great coverage…. I live downtown Saint Petersburg and folks are scrambling. The ground is quite saturated and unfortunately the city isn’t prepared. The Governor had to come to our city and forced them to start removing debris off the beaches and open dumping site. Been here since 1985…. Worst case scenario.
Rapid intensification will be the hallmark of storms with climate change as the water temperatures will be much higher than normal. Gulf temperatures are at record highs.
Hey, I love your storm track! Finally! A storm track that doesn’t go.directly over my house. In Bartow, manufactured home fleeing to Orlando. Tomorrow night.
Thank you… From Fort Myers, Florida, on a creek that’s right off the river. we are really worried about the storm surge. so many people lost their homes or at least their first floors in Helene two weeks ago and now they’re about to have it all over again… my yard floods, but I don’t think my house will get any water in it, but I’m always praying for the ones that always do. 🙏😢
I live in Tampa and there's thousands of homes that have damage furniture, cabinets, dresser etc... in their yard. These things will be flying objects. It's a very scary situation and the storm surge could be worse from last week. Tampa! Repent! Ask God for mercy.
@@peaceandfuntimes … I don’t think so. It’s gonna cross our state and then head out the Atlantic and hopefully disintegrate into nothing instead of turning up the Atlantic towards Canada. I don’t think you have anything to worry about, but please pray pray for all of us. There are a lot of us in this chat that are in quite a bit of danger and it’s hectic because we keep having one after another.. Thanks!
People, people get out as fast as you can it’s dangerous… dnt sit back and think it will b alright; do whatever it is I pray for you people there in Florida
Insanity: allowing mobile homes and wooden structures along the FL coastline. How can a solidly built concrete house suffer major damage in a hurricane?
You may have noticed that when hurricane Andrew hit it destroyed many many houses and yet there were still houses in those very same neighborhoods that had little to no damage because they were built up to code with no shortcuts. None of the home inspectors that passed those destroyed/damaged houses or the construction companies were ever held responsible.
*Do you people know what buoys are?* *Not one buoy in the gulf shows over 70mph sustained wind.* *_Why is everyone calling this a Cat 5???_* *It's BARELY a Cat 1*

The slower it moves the more dangerous it is
Yes that flash flooding is no joke! Praying everyone stays safe, (I’m in central Fl and hoping this isn’t the last 48 hours in my home ever😢)
So.. head south on off freeway roads. Plenty of time
I"m in Tampa Bay and so worried about this one. We may evacuate this evening just to be on safe side.
You should leave don’t risk your family
Be mindful of the highways. Try to evacuate close if you can. But get off the beaches for sure or low lying areas.
It is well worth staying on the safe side. Go for it.

Wait as long as you need to in the traffic !! You will get out eventually and definately before the storm hits !
Go get in the car now. I lived through Andrew as a very little child, & you don’t want to ride out a Cat5
You need to leave. Waiting for traffic is far better than waiting for this storm to pass.
Its just a queue. Get in the queue.

It is truly terrifying.
I feel like I’m listening to HGTV reporting on a hurricane talking about textures and such lol love it
You have 20 ft waves on top of that storm surge so its more like a 30 to 40 ft wall of water
Especially because the Gulf is not deep, like the Atlantic coast. Its shallow base will create very high waves…similar to the physics of tsunami.
We`re waiting for the sharpee updated; track for Milton. The track that really counts.
My first thought. Thanks. Poopypants could make ot go out to sea.
Camille had 900 mb pressure and 190 mph sustained AT LANDFALL! "estimated" because it broke all measuring devices
This may get worse!
😳 I knew this would happen. I told so many people that when I moved back to Florida earlier this year. And they're reactions were "Yeah... We heard that before." @@OrganNLou
@@OrganNLou Not at Landfall
My mother was in Florida for Camille. She had always wanted to move to Florida until she survived that hurricane. She said, “ Never again!”
No Camille did not. Hurricane Camille had 175 mile an hour winds sustained for 1 minute. Hurricane Rita had 180. And Labor Day storm of 1935 had 185 which was the most powerful in the Gulf. Don't post false information
After making it through Katrina I’d leave if possible. This isn’t good and it’s not fear mongering. Cat 1 to 5 in less than 12 hours is CRAZY!!!
