@HurricaneAddict Nah, Florida’s ready thanks to the fake news already being shared thousands of times of an old Helene cone. Go on, gfs. Don’t sugar coat it.
Looking extremely bad for #Tampa... the bay could get #Milton's south eyewall which maximizes the storm surge. This will come down to a few miles in the next few hours. https://t.co/pK3EMVUtlw
Kennedy has entered HURCON I ahead of Hurricane #Milton's approach.
The center is now closed, with the exception of essential emergency response personnel and Ride Out Team members.

Several years ago I asked @NHC_Atlantic to show me what the worst case storm hitting Florida would look like
What they showed me back then is almost identical to the #Milton forecast now
Complete devastation in Keaton Beach, Florida from a combination of extreme wind and a 15+ foot storm surge. Don't ever expect to see another hurricane named Helene again.
