🌀If Jim Cantore is taking this seriously, shouldn't you? 👀🌀

[Jim Cantore @JimCantore]

As I sign off for the night #Milton continued to attempt another sub 900mb run within ~24 hours of landfall. This storm has everything going for it as it continues to push out Cat5 storm surge with a guaranteed expanding wind field expected at landfall to push that surge into the coast. Not much here to prevent the inevitable and likely our second consecutive retired USA impact named storm. This has happened before in 1964 with Cleo and Dora. Thank you @philklotzbach

If you aren't taking the storm serious you need to ask yourself why. Focus on the best possible outcome for your family and friends with this inevitable horror that is about to take place in Florida. Time is running out.

Once #Helene hits, you may be without power or even cell service, so thinking about what to do after the storm has moved on is so important. These are just a few tips, but think about what you and your family may need to be considering after the storm.
