2024 Hurricane and Tropical Weather

[Puzzles8]

I'm worried about this one also. It is on a very odd path across the Gulf. Last hurricane that developed like this was in the 1800's. The fact that the storm is expected to impact the Florida Gulf Coast in less than 48 hours and the spaghetti models still have only narrowed it "down" to the Entire Coastline.

I just saw this Twitter from an Orlando Meteorologist. He is suggesting Milton may hit a bit south (Ft. Myers) of current Tampa projections

Trend on the Euro has been a touch more to the ESE interacting with the Yucatan Peninsula. It will be interesting to see what, if any, impacts this may have on #Milton. Also MAY lead to a track closer to our tropical models near Fort Myers. Stay with #weshwx for updates."

Ft. Myers means Sanibel Island would get hit again. It is just starting to recover from Ian. Most resorts are hoping to reopen in 2025. A few have recently reopened. I can't imagine what another Hurricane will do.

Stay Safe Everyone!

Well, the youngest in Grenada (vet school) chimed in and wants me outta here too. I think my house will be fine. Altho a CAT 3-4 is usually pretty bad. My yard will look like a forest with tree branches down.

The police are saying 5’-10’ storm surge. The islands are being closed off at noon tomorrow. City Hall opened this afternoon so residents can get island passes to go back on after the storm.

My aunt & uncle on the east coast (Sebastian) are in a mobile home. I’m worried about them.

I don’t do well in the heat. If we lose power, I’m screwed. I do not have an immune system. I can’t go to a shelter and I don’t qualify for the handicap shelter.

So I’m packing as if I’m evacuating. Clothing, electronics, sewing stuff and sweet potatoes! LOL! I’ll check the path tomorrow when I finish my appts.

I put everything on the lanai up against the house. I have the trash at the curb and the neighbor will bring the can back in. I’m charging the solar light & string lights with my craft lamp.

My sunflowers are popping out in bloom and they’ll get shredded. Sigh.

Somedays I hate Florida and I’ve lived here most of my life.

I'm worried about this one. It's similar to Wilma, which caused a lot of damage here at my house.

Prayers to all, this is going to be a long week I think.

I live in Palm Beach County, and it is difficult to tell how much Milton will affect us. The initial landfall will probably be the worst, especially with storm surge. The storm will then move east, crossing the state of Florida, and possibly create damaging conditions on the east coast of Florida. Wind velocity should drop once Milton goes inland, but it's hard to say how much it will drop. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma crossed the state, and left a lot of damage in SE Florida. In some respects, the path of Milton looks similar to Wilma. So far, Milton's tracks north of Wilma's path, but the "spaghetti models" vary and there are always unknowns.

I'm worried about this one.

Same. I got all the necessary supplies, but am hunkering down. If the track holds we will be on the dirty side of the storm here in Wellington. I experienced Wilma's eye in this house and it caused considerable damage here.
