My friend from Davis Island is already displaced for at least 6 months from his house after it flooded from Helene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I suspect the sea will get a bit rough as the ship gets closer to Milton. The deeper the purple, the higher the waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get onboard when you disembark on Friday .... we haven't heard anything otherwise from RCCL, so assuming they are still planning on our 9 day cruise. We are parking in a parking garage across the street, even though we live in Tampa we just want our car to be protected while we are away. Anyone else on the same cruise as us?? I am on Serenade on Friday, 10/11. Haven't heard anything from Royal yet. Flying into Tampa on 10/10 and staying at Embassy Suites. My flight hasn't been rescheduled yet.

hancock Posted 5 hours ago #55 Share Posted 5 hours ago My brother is in assisted living a little north of Tampa. He is being evacuated to an hotel in Orlando. It's a bad storm headed that way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milton's landfall is early AM Oct 10. You may want to check your airline to see if they are operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeyVictoria Posted 4 hours ago #59 Share Posted 4 hours ago We live about 30 minutes south of Tampa. All of the spaghetti models for Milton now agree and have merged, and we are directly in the path. We did not evacuate because our elevation is too high to worry about storm surge, but we will have tremendous wind and rain. If there is no damage to our house but the power is off (very likely), the Serenade on the 11th would be a great place for an escape. It is sold out, but I think there are bound to be some cancellations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalTexCruiser Posted 4 hours ago #61 Share Posted 4 hours ago Unfortunately Milton now up to 180 Mph I’ll be shocked if Tampa port will be operational on Oct 11. Likely widespread power outages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My house is as secure as I can make it (shutters up, all outdoor furniture inside). I boarded Celebrity Reflection this morning so will be out of harm’s way. Hopefully my house sustains minimal damage at most and my generator works without issue if my development loses power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
