Today is the last full day for evacuations in Florida. Hurricane Milton is currently a Category 4 Hurricane with winds at 150mph.
As you can see, it looks like Tampa will take the brunt of Milton. I included a map that shows potential wind speeds around Tampa and some of those areas could see winds greater than 110mph. Tamps could also see storm surge of 10-15 feet.
There is also a serious flooding threat, think of the areas along the coast...you have a storm surge threat of 10-15 feet plus there is a chance of 12-16 inches of rain.
This hurricane will cause catastrophic damage and hunkering down and getting through it will be tough to do. If you have been advised to evacuate, I strongly recommend you do so.
