Hurricane Milton coming to FL

[SoFloMagic]

It's nasty out there

 

[vikescaper]

Where are you?

St. Petersburg.

 

[JoeCamel]

That's good; I've never been there during an emergency.




Somehow, I was expecting bad news like that.

Nature of the beast

 

[donaldtoo]

And that folks is why they mandate hurricane windows

Yes, I saw that the glass was tempered…otherwise, slice and dice.

 

[Touchdown]

St. Petersburg.

OMG you are so lucky the storm went south. Please, please keep your vow to evacuate next time.

 

[DCBaker]

I'm a couple miles from Animal Kingdom and just got this push alert :

 

[EricsBiscuit]

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

Same here I lost power about a half hour ago.

St. Petersburg had over 17 inches of rain as of about 20 minutes ago

Wow…Tropicana Field just lost about half of the dome fabric. It is just shredded…

 

[DryerLintFan]

Somebody on the Ryan Hall feed said the roof came off the Tropicana Field… Is there any way to fact check that?

 

[JoeCamel]

Yes, I saw that the glass was tempered…otherwise, slice and dice.

I think it was more than tempered, it shattered but didn't crumble so it had a sheet in the center like a windshield

I don't know but when I saw the cots laid out I thought I wouldn't want to be in that building in that location with this coming

Those poor linemen aren’t getting any sleep tonight

 

[Vacationeer]

See here:

Isn’t that where some out-of-state power crews are hunkering down tonight?

 

[HakunaMatata89]

See here:

isn't that where they had recovery personnel sleeping in cots until the storm passed too?

 

[Vacationeer]

Nearing 2 million customers

To be fair, most folks in the storm's path aren't either.

Linemen, National Guard, and other first responders. I found that a curious choice for a staging area given the location and roof design. Hope all fared well.

To be fair, most folks in the storm's path aren't either.

Sure, but most folks aren’t coming off emergency response crews in the Carolina’s, and most folks aren’t going to be expected to work round the clock for the next few days restoring power and clearing debris
