Damn, new hurricane is up to 175 mph winds. Holy crap.

Yup...this one is a cat 4 (could be cat 5) head straight for central FL. EDIT: Crap it IS a Cat 5. Ooof.

I hope you are all safe. Thinking about all of you down there

Glad to see it has weakened some.

Good luck to all from Venice to Bradenton. sadgator fears this one’s gonna be the one he has been dreading for a long time. The projected exit path is not a good one for sadgator.

Through your butthole in Volusia or Brevard County?

This is going to hit like Ian did 2 years ago. A really bad hit.

I think you're right. Milton looks like it will be a little weaker than Ian, and will be in a weakening mode when it hits which helps some.

Yep hopefully it drops down to like 115 before it hits. Ian hit at like 150 I think. Eye is ragged right now. Not sure if it's reforming or what. My best guess is thing thing exits from Melbourne to Cocoa somewhere. It's going to be close to a direct hit on the Bay on the west coast it appears.

This is the most rain I remember from any hurricane in my area so far.

I have friends and family in Pasco and Sumter counties. Looks like they will be spared the worst of it. All my gator friends please heed the advice and stay safe.

As of 8:30, my sister and brother in law still have power in Wesley Chapel. They're in a non evac zone but following advice from weather experts.
