Cat. 4 Milton terrorizes Florida, Landfall Wed. late

Posted on by

Watching from afar, up here in Vermont, Florida residents need to get out in those specific locations as recommended by the local NWS offices and heed all warnings as a catastrophic hurricane will cross the central portion of Florida.

Steering tracks indicate a nice tight projection somewhere a little south of Tampa Bay while Hurricane Milton was expected to encounter some shear aloft and velocity loss while arriving. However, this is NO COMFORT as the hurricane will be devastating with storm surge, catastrophic winds, waves, and especially the right front quad of the storm with its storm surge expected to be deadly based on the latest tracks, though if passing south of Tampa Bay – this would be better case scenario. And a northern track worst…with deadly storm surge into the Bay in a highly populated area. This makes Milton potentially extremely deadly.

Other considerations: !00% ground saturation recent wet weather and effects from sideswiping “Helene” likely to cause extra up-rooting of trees. Also deadly missiles of destruction where debris to be picked up and slammed. Milton likely to be another historical storm.

Heed all warnings and evacuations as this will not be survivable on the coast. Ignore some of the mutterings by some that do not follow the official Hurricane Center guidance and especially the local National Weather Service Offices in the storm-bound areas.

In Vermont get ready for a little frost where temperatures should be straddling in the low to mid 30s but colder right on the ground.
