Hurricane #Milton Advisory 16: Milton Expected to Make Landfall On the Gulf Coast of Florida Late Wednesday as a Dangerous Major Hurricane. https://t.co/tW4KeGe9uJ

[National Weather Service @NWS]

#MILTON is expected to grow in size and remain an extremely dangerous hurricane when it approaches the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. A large area of destructive storm surge will occur along parts of the west coast of Florida on Wednesday.

This is an extremely life-threatening situation and residents in those areas should follow advice given by local officials and evacuate immediately if told to do so.

🌊 NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center storm surge forecasts are given in feet above ground level.

🌊Adding to the destructive power of surge, battering waves may increase damage to buildings directly along the coast.

@TheLanaBanana @ChaseRogersDMN @dallasnews If this is where I think it is located, there was a Dollar General distribution center still there that was ripped up through the front. Might not have the right place but I did get to travel through that area. Prayers for those still recovering.
