A meterologist just posted that a significant part of the eastern eyewall of Hurricane Milton has an aberrant pattern that can be associated with biologic origin and are most likely birds. The birds are usually in a migratory route and essentially shelter in the eyewall, traveling with the hurricane.

That's very interesting. TY. I was wondering about the bird migrations.

'Over 250,000 customers in Florida already without power as Hurricane Milton moves in'​

From CNN Meteorologist Taylor Ward
Hurricane Milton is still a few hours from making landfall, but over 250,000 customers in Florida have already lost power, according to poweroutage.us.

Power outages are increasing along west coast of Florida, but some of the counties that have the largest percentage of outages are actually in central and eastern areas of the state due to this afternoon’s tornado outbreak within the outer bands of Milton.

With hurricane-force gusts beginning to move onshore, power outages will begin to increase significantly for western Florida this evening.

One utility warned there could be up to 1 million outages in the state.

I woke up from my nap to see it’s wobbled just north of my house.

My friend JK says 70 MPH winds and she is 2 miles east of me.

My neighbors texted that the power is flickering and will likely go out soon.

My Ring cameras went out a couple hours ago. But my plants were hanging in there!! (The internet drowns every time it rains.)

An extreme wind warning is in effect for Tampa FL, Saint Petersburg FL, Clearwater FL until 9:30 PM EDT for extremely dangerous hurricane winds. Treat these imminent extreme winds as if a tornado was approaching and move immediately to an interior room or shelter NOW!

I heard from my nieces and brother. They’re sheltering in the Tampa area referred to as Temple Terrace!

I noticed it has now wobbled back south, right at the Sarasota airport which is 2 miles north of my house.

Most dangerous part of Milton now coming onshore

Milton has started the process of making landfall and its eyewall and most intense winds are coming onshore, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center.

Milton’s eyewall has winds screaming at 120 mph with higher gusts.

“The northern eyewall of Hurricane Milton is beginning to move onshore of the Florida gulf coast near Tampa and St. Petersburg where an Extreme Wind Warning is now in effect. Please shelter in place as these extremely dangerous hurricane-force winds overspread the region,” the center warned.
