#Milton continues well on its way to a strengthening hurricane that will have Helene winds and maybe more at its peak. The hurricane should weaken before landfall, but push a very strong windfield with power outages well inland from west to east do to angle of approach.
Guidance still has wiggle room in terms of landfall. Storm surge will be maximized to the south of the center which has huge implications for Tampa and anyone beaten up by Helene with debris still sitting in their front yards. This will make any travel or rescue impossible in an expanding debris field when the hurricane comes in.
Hotels are packed and some will have to be evacuated. You will likey have to evacuate farther than usual because of hotel occupancy. Gas will likely be in short supply. Get inland to a safe place and give Florida a chance to reset or you will be part of a likely gridlock out, and then back in. See you in Tampa in the morning.

@nypost Last Trump election, all I remember is going to bed and Trump was sure win. We got up and Biden was prez. My husband and I looked at each other, wondering How the Hell that happened.
8 am EDT: A low pressure area about 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is expected to become a tropical depression over the next couple of days. Interests in the Leeward Islands should monitor its progress as watches or warnings could be required as soon as later today. https://t.co/Wq6ZtKfHp9
