LOOKS LIKE MILTON MAY BE REALLY, REALLY BAD

This one may actually be the storm of the century.  The weather guessers are predicting the worst storm in living memory in that part of the country.  If it hits Tampa Bay the funnel shape of the bay will tend to accentuate the storm surge.  Even if it misses and hits a bit south, which seems likely right now, they are predicting a 15 foot storm surge that will very possibly sweep pretty much everything in it's path.  Even the Waffle House is closing down its stores in the area.

It looks like Milton will hit the shore as a Cat 4, maybe even a Cat 3, which is still nothing to sneeze at. 

 

 

 

There are about 43,000 utility workers positioned in the general area, ready to respond as soon as it is safe to do so.  Looks like DeSantis and the utility people (as well as maybe FEMA) have got their shit together.  

This time tomorrow we will have an idea what has happened.  It won't be anything nice.
