Jim Cantore is in Davis Island right now.

Davis Island was already hit hard from Helene. My friend from Davis Island is already displaced for at least 6 months from his house after it flooded from Helene.

Then you should ask your friend to buckle up because it's going to be a rough ride... 🤢

 

Looks like the captain's trying to stay on the "clean" side of Milton (the side with less rain).  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.

Hope you have a great cruise on the Serenade.  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.

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!

Tampa Airport has announced it is closing tomorrow Oct 8 (Tues).

 

Milton's landfall is early AM Oct 10.

 

You may want to check your airline to see if they are operating.

I saw where they are closing the Tampa airport tomorrow.  I'm expecting a change to my flight.

Highly unlikely your flight will arrive in Tampa on Thursday.   😔

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.

MCO is shutting down at 8:00am on Wednesday ahead of the storm.

Unfortunately Milton now up to 180 Mph

 

I’ll be shocked if Tampa port will be operational on Oct 11.  Likely widespread power outages.
