#TampaFlorida residents: this is your last chance to get out or get to a shelter if you’ve been ordered to evacuate. Fuel stations are running dry in the area, and shelters are filling up. The airport closes at 9 AM tomorrow ahead of storm winds. You’re running out of time and options.

#HurricaneMilton is bringing upwards of 10” or more of rain, 125 mph sustained surface winds, and a 10-15’ storm surge. Your house almost certainly will not protect you. Leave now.

In case you think I’m exaggerating the likely impact, please look for examples in the linked documentary on #Huricane Ian, which had a comparable storm surge height back in 2022. #HurricaneMilton is only landing as a #Category3, but it’s the #StormSurge that does the most damage. It will surprise you with its speed and power, and the currents will be violent and unpredictable. Don’t bet your life on being right. Leave now.
