Not sure that’s going to work but hey you gotta do what you can do.

Last pass through the storm. Two readings of surface winds over 200mph.

That fourth letter looks like what they gave guests during Charley back in 2004.

And Irma in 2017.

The * are on the TS winds, not the 200mph ones, am I reading it wrong?

Was just sharing it for people wondering the asterisks.

Hillsborough, Sarasota, and Hernando Counties have issued MANDATORY evacuation orders already so far. I’d expect others to follow.

Parts of Charlotte Harbor are under mandatory evacuation as well. Issue came this morning and police are Rounding with bullhorns telling people to gtfo

Holy ****!!!

 

[Fido Chuckwagon]

Current forecast track:

This has the potential to be so bad. Potentially the worst weather event in WDW history. Still time for things to improve, but this is not good.

 

[John park hopper]

Milton despite the name has proven to be a monster 160 ---let's hope dry air and wind shear takes the punch out of Milton before landfall

 

[celluloid]

I am thinking there are some execs and managment are going to be humbled that the parks will not only not open wedsnesday, but Thursday as well. And the weekend will be a mess in some aspects.
