5pm Update: Trending a little south now. Most lines are in South Hillsborough (Tampa) / Manatee county now. I hope that trend continues. Tested the PB and got my extension cords all ready. I should have put in a transfer switch...

I have one. And a AC soft start.. Brand new in the box, sitting in my garage, uninstalled.. I haven't made the time to get it installed yet, and regret it now. :( I do have TP and paper towels though!

I also have extension cords at the ready, along with a dual-hose portable AC, so we'll at least have some form of cooling.

Just looked at gauges for Tampa and surrounding
Water levels ate down by half to three quarter a foot...Milton is sucking the water out...
Hopefully it closer to low tide tonight early am Thursday
But 12 to 15 in Tampa for surge is still forecasted
Keeping all yall in our minds and prayers

Wed 11AM update: Looks like Sarasota is now ground zero for Milton. Feel sorry for them. I'm now out of the cone, but the PB is ready! Everyone in Milton's path stay safe!

This picture is from personal weather stations network
Although it does show icons for tornadoes..that does not mean they are the ground. Most are at altitude above 15k feet

I've been told it'd been so much more worse if we hadn't (checks notes) given hundreds of millions of $ in aide to other countries the past few months. I haven't been able to figure out how this works at all, and nobody with any common sense can either.

If you're referring to FEMA? That's not how it works.
