Should I be scared in West Palm Beach? Looks like it's gonna murder the whole state :raincloud::heavysmoker:
Right now, the storm has to go near Tampa if it dips south then west palm would have more to worry about in West Palm Beach but right now you just have to worry about a little bit of wind and rain. Pay attention to the path of the system, and if it dips south, then you have to make a gametime decision.

The GFS and ECMWF predict a major hurricane that could reach category 4. Both suggest that Tampa, Florida, is the potential landfall area around Wednesday or Thursday. The good news is that the storm will move through very quickly. However, the ECMWF model predicts a slower-moving storm. Deadly storm surges, tornadoes, and flash flooding are high-risk threats. Anyone in those areas should consider evacuating. Loss of life is an inevitable circumstance.

And the Republicans, who control Congress, i.e. the US house don’t want to hurry back

Milton will likely become a hurricane today. Forecast models agree this storm will reach major hurricane strength, indicating a possible category 5. The latest track has shifted south and may continue to move south. There is still uncertainty about the landfall location. Tampa Bay my be spared the worst, but the people should prepare for the worst.

If I’m in Tampa area especially near the coast I would be gone right now. Hurricane Helen just passed by and fucked up that area.

Milton is going to be a bitch, but Florida is going to be stressing for a while if this forecast holds through.

I have three close friends in Tampa. The bad news is, they're hard headed as fuck and have been through so many storms that they don't get scared. The good news is none of them are right on the water.
If it was currently raining, I would say that’s good news, but all of that part of Florida the ground is extremely saturated so when the water is come in, it’s going to come in hard

Yep, one thing that happens is that some people don't take one hurricane seriously, so when the next one hits they freak out and start panic buying everything.

That’s why folks living in FL or along the Gulf should be constantly prep throughout the year if possible. Panic buying this stuff isn’t going to help much unfortunately.
