Luke6:46. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48. He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
We’re strong, Floridan! Let’s get this over with.
But please if you’re in evacuation zone, please, please go to the shelter, please! please!
NEVER
Many hours ago, somebody said the evacuation centers are filled up. I don’t know if that was true. (12:50aTues)

I believe the NHC forecast is a little conservative. Typically after a eyewall replacement cycle you get restrengthening and expansion of the tropical and hurricane force winds. This forecast suggests no restrengthening which would be highly unusual for a hurricane in a high temperature low shear environment.
UPDATE: The eyewall replacement cycle is not far from completion now. The new larger eye is now clearly visible on infrared and the cloud tops which had warmed a bit have begun to cool again which is indicative of restrengthening.
UPDATE #2: The eyewall replacement cycle is now nearly complete. Milton has wobbled a little north in the past two hours. Expect the new eye to clear out soon and for reintensification to begin.
i thought that Low to the north was providing significant shear, no?
@@kevinfarrell2897 it’s projected to hit the shear and dry air closer to landfall
@@kevinfarrell2897 Not yet. It's too far south to be affected by shear yet
They are also missing in every single projection, yet keep it landing on Tampa. Doesn’t make sense, unless they are trying to cause mass panic. I know folks who are staying out because they believe the forecast projections..idk
@@therealBocaStudios That's why there is a cone of uncertainty. Landfall is most likely somewhere near Tampa but the cone shows that landfall could potentially be as far south as Fort Myers.
Thx for the time stamp on the info

I suppose it has to be considered good news that it will be down to a 3 by the time it hits the west coast of Fla. Still terrible but that's better than a 4 or 5 like it is now, and hopefully the strength will die down as it travels inland to not be as devastating as it could have been. People in FLA go through so much. Praying for FLA!! 🙏
Hurricane Katrina was a category 3 by time it made landfall and it killed 1,400 people. Like a meteorologist said this morning, don’t pay attention to “categories”. It’s about storm surge and winds. Do not bank on categories. 3 seems small but it is still deadly. Katrina is proof of that. There’s a Newsweek article comparing Katrina Milton and Helene. Google it.
yeah, it'll still hit the coast incredibly hard, but the rest of the state will at least be okay ish
This storm wasn’t even predicted to become a hurricane, then it was only going to be a weak storm. Them maybe a 3 off the coast and a 1 at landfall.
One meteorologist said these small diameter storms are harder to forecast.
@@freeheeler09 yeah, I feel like that's most of why it's so concerning, it could literally do anything right now
Prayers for Florida and all those (surrounding states too) who will be affected by Hurricane Milton 🙏🙏🙏
I’m on the northern coast of SC and even tho the forecast says we’re “ok”… this bad boy is just SO big, the Gulf is SO hot…
Please heed the evacuation orders yall. It’s too hairy down there now… and to add another ginormous storm… please yall just come here.
Tampa Bay could take a hint from Chatham County, Georgia. Chatham County turns I-16 into all lanes headed North. It looks like that would help Tampa Bay. After a massive traffic jam and no one could get out of Chatham County about 10 years ago. Chatham County and other Counties all the way to Macon Georgia has all lanes heading North.
Take your pets and animals with you when you evacuate. This storm is deadly for humans and animals. Make arrangements. Please No animals Left behind. God Bless you All
"Cajoning in" 😂
Y’all please evacuate. 🐊🌪 gatornaders. Omg the pythons!
Looks like Tampa is going to skate by on this one. Storm pushing south.
They keep saying its barreling right towards Tampa Bay?
Get out while you can the life you save might be your own.Praying for you all.
Holy crap. Look at the energy in that thing!
They want it to hit Tampa so bad, but my money is on Sarasota to Ft. Myers. If it does swing up more, I think it'll hit as a weaker storm. This isn't to say not to take precautions, especially if you're near the coast, but have faith in the Indian burial grounds which have protected us for generations.

Up to 6 and up to 9 are both yellow. I would try and correct that...
9 is actually a darker shade compared to 6, but I can see how some people find the colors hard to distinguish. They should've used a deeper color for 9.

We're gonna have a bad time. If you aren't sure your place can take 100 mph winds, leave
What about the storm surge ? Nothing to worry about with 10 to 15 feet in Tampa ?
That's the fun part. My house *should* be able to take it.
But it's not been truly tested in something like this. We have been sideswiped a few times, but never something that can be this strong. Or this direct.

I have family in Wesley chapel will they get damage or power outage?
Yes, for certain.
I go to Wesley Chapel 6 days per week.
Most of the homes are newer and built of block and stucco.
They should be fine. Who knows where power lines will be damaged?
My family are all in Pinellas but we haven’t been asked to evacuate.

@@Danny33777 I see my family’s house there is about a decade old now.
Wesley Chapel may lose power, but they shouldn't take the brunt of the storm. No surge or flood, just strong winds and power outages. Love from St. Pete. We're stuck and it's batten down the hatches.
@@gdhaney136 I see yea Hurricane Helene flooded my sisters and her husbands in St Pete. They are house less now working with the insurance but are staying with other family in Wesley chapel for the mean time and for this storm.

Bought a case today, for some reason.
Covid caused people to work from home so many moved to warmer spots like Austin and Tampa from cold winter in Buffalo or Cleveland etc to Paradise in Tampa.
Ironically it was Milton the poet who wrote Paradise Lost. Literary pun.
I hope people prepare and survive as best they can and follow all precautions. I expect some damage here in inland FL too. Category 5 is an inadequate term for Milton with gusts of OVER 200 MPH! I’ve been in past hurricanes and the gusts do the damage - rip off roofs, topple trees, etc.

While I'm sure the people in downtown appreciate it, stop fearmongering Tampa. It's got too much pressure on it from the north to turn that hard.
To me it looks like he likes to scare people, I guess it's all a bit of a breeze.

Oh my God, what is up with our governor? He’s playing political games while Florida is facing a major crisis. He did the same thing when hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers Beach. More political games from him DeSantis. I just saw an interview with the vice president Harris,
In that interview, the vice president is asked about DeSantis refusing to return her calls. You would think DeSantis would know that we have a heavy reliance on the federal government for billions of dollars when there is a massive crisis like Heleen. DeSantis seems to have the emotional intelligence of a three-year-old. He chooses a time of crisis to play political games with the vice president of the United States? What is the matter with the guy? DeSantis, grow up! Don’t be a rude doofus in a time of crisis! Biden had to step in during hurricane Ian because DeSantis dragged his feet, didn’t want to ask for help, Biden got things rolling, DeSantis got credit for it. What is the matter with his brain?
Ocala .. Marion county .. what to expect??
☠💀
You're pretty inland and north so storm surge shouldn't be a big concern, but if you live in a low lying area be mindful of possible flooding rain. That county is in the direct path of the hurricane, but due to how far in you are, the winds should die down a bit. If you have any loose items on a porch or something you want to secure or get inside, make sure to do that. If you live in a stable house or building (not an RV or mobile home), staying inside should be just fine while you ride out the wind and rain. If you think you will need any more supplies for the next couple of days, it would be a good idea to get them tomorrow while there is still time left. Keep up to date with weather reports and stay safe.
Why are our winds currently going north to south? Is this wind shire? Would think it would push the storm south.
The front to the north is what is keeping the storm south... that's also where the wind shear is projected to lower the storm back to CAT 3 before landfall.
Wtf yesterday it was more towards the north now it's coming more towards the south God bless us all
god will have nothing to do with it. It's all about the science of a storm.
