Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher
gusts. Milton is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Milton is expected to remain an extremely
dangerous major hurricane when it reaches the west-central coast of
Florida tonight, and remain at hurricane strength while it moves
across the Florida peninsula through Thursday. Gradual weakening is
forecast while Milton moves eastward over the western Atlantic, and
it is likely to become an extratropical storm by early Friday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 250 miles
(280 km), especially to the north. A NOAA saildrone (SD-1083)
located about 50 miles east of the center recently reported a
sustained wind of 52 mph (84 km/h) and a wind gust of 70 mph (112
km/h).

The minimum central pressure based on Air Force Reserve Hurricane
Hunter data is 944 mb (27.88 inches).

Stay safe folks, batten down those hatches.

40,000 power outages in FL already
Here is a URL for Duke Energy outage map that some might find useful to get a sense of scale of outages.


And Orange County Utilities


FPL Outage Map


And a slightly more generic one but covers a lot of areas the others don't. There will be some duplication.
