Hurricane Milton coming to FL

[JenniferS]

I visited after Irma several years back. The pet cemetery got jossled up a lot. I thought it looked better. LOL.

We were at Coronado Springs during Irma. That was a bumpy night.

Also at CSR during Dorian. That was a much lesser event.

And at POP during Katrina.

Beyond happy not to be anywhere near Florida tonight.

I was at AKL during Ian. Solid building. Interesting time. I "enjoyed" my staying put there if that is even possible. I don't recommend making a beeline to WDW just to ride out a storm though. I decided to keep my already made reservation rather than evacuate.

6” of rain already reported in Tampa, expecting up to 8” more on top of that. Tampa also reported 100mph gust.

In the thick of it now. Outages ramping up.

Still have power.

Every time they say “the backside of this thing” i think of Jungle Cruise

Tampa is getting absolutely slammed with rain right now. Watching Ryan Hall and YT and they are saying that rain is heading for the Orlando area...

Been listening and watching what's been going on with the insane weather in Florida today from Ryan Hall's YouTube weather channel and he's been live for the past 7-8 hours and still has live camera feeds going on. Highly recommend it over the Weather Channel.

Lost power in Longwood/Lake Mary area about 30 minutes ago

Geez, these tornados- is this normal this many tornados this far from the core? Like, it seems crazy Milton hasn’t made landfall on the west but Vero Beach is getting a large tornado.

19 confirmed.

I can't remember a hurricane spawning this many.

Yep. Dumber than a stump.

This guy is one dumb, lucky, man

That's an understatement. What an absolute moron.

Years ago I came up with a life philosophy to never do anything that makes it possible for your last thought to be "that was stupid." This guy violated that rule to an unimaginable level!

On CNN a doctor was on advising on how much bacteria the floodwaters have and how it can wreck a person's digestive system if the person swallows the contaminated waters.

Is it Volusia that's asking people to reduce water use to avoid overwhelming the sewage system?

 

[LAKid53]

I think it is valid and probably brought up for those who may go to a boil water notice. inundation of floodwaters into pipes and systems. Or people desperate may drink.


Just to be in it is awufl due to bacteria.

It amazes me when people foolishly wade through flood waters after a storm.

 

[LAKid53]

Maybe that was for the YouTubers that like to drink water from attractions and fountains.

My advice? Go ahead. Let Darwin reduce the gene pool.

 

[LAKid53]

Depends on the storm and other conditions. Hurricane Ivan in 04 was a significant tornado maker (could hold the record) with 127 tornados. With such unstable air, it certainly isnt uncommon for hurricanes to produce them

127?? Holy cow

He's my daughter's fav.

When Splash closed on the last day a guest documented 3 oz of water he acquired from the attraction to sell it on eBay. The winning bid was $120.

 

[LAKid53]

Does it really take a Dr. to advise such things; I would hope close to all would already know that.

It's Floriduh....

Watching the Weather Channel. Because of the more southern landfall at Sarasota that means the northern side (ie I-4 corridor including WDW) is getting slammed.

The winds have picked up a bit.
