Hurricane Milton should be arriving between 11 pm tonight and 2 am Thursday morning. The above photo was taken after a simple storm - before Hurricane Helene - hit our coast. With Milton packing much stronger winds, it is anybody's guess what it will look like this time tomorrow.
Flood zones A, B and C were told on Monday to start evacuating. Many more are doing so this time around after Helene's mayhem! We are in flood zone X and not leaving our second floor condo. Bridges to the barrier islands were all closed yesterday and nobody can get on or off anymore. With Helene the entire islands flooded as did all the cars on the islands. A colleague of mine informed me that she called on Sunday to have their two new cars towed away (since both were floating in salt water) and she was told that she is number 6,000 in line - so it may take awhile.
Tampa International Airport closed down yesterday as did just about everything else by early afternoon. So many have already lost so much! I pray this doesn't make a direct hit since the Tampa/St Petersburg/Clearwater is an extremely populated area! Right now it looks like it is going to come in between Sarasota and Ft. Myers but as we all know, hurricanes can make so many last minute twists and turns. You just don't know for sure until it comes ashore!
