Thank goodness it’s not a cat 5. My prayers to anyone in Milton’s path🙏

[woodstocknation]

Prayers for the safety of all in the path of this storm. Amen

[darkangel]

Uplifting Floridians in fervent prayers of safety, strength, courage and provisions.

[lmlm_]

“Once in a century” 🙄 There were multiple Category 3 and above hurricanes that affected the Tampa area in 2004 alone.

[ninnnix]

Praying God keeps everyone safe in Jesus name 🙏

[osbon]

Senior editor? Lead hurricane expert? What are you, 27?

[IGOBYTHENAMELOVE]

News media sad it’s not a 5 to keep talking about it

[AMBULANTVEGETA]

Um. Does the lead hurricane expert look like an hurrican expert or is 2024 year of the truth

[caddystube]

Wonder how those electric vehicles are doing in these hurricane affected areas. Imagine if all vehicles were electric. God help us.

[chanelled]

Is General Electric back to their old games, Project Cirrus? Back in the 50s they dropped dry ice in a hurricane causing massive flooding..

[katherinetaylor]

Don't let your guard down they could be wrong hope for the best prepared for the worst but one thing be safe

[PopcornCornbread-lw]

It's so big you can see it from the Sun😂😂😂

[MayLing-LE]

Your information is NOT correct. data from NOA. A category (5) is 157mph atm: Milton is 160mph

No. The good side of the storm to be on is the left side. The northwest side. That’s the side that you want to be on because there’s no real wetness— I can’t remember which one but I experienced the eye of a storm, as well. I stepped outside. It was actually not that windy and it was like a brief respite from all the clouds and wind and slight drizzle. I was born and raised in Florida. Experienced 2005 when there were FOUR hurricanes that year That my area was impacted by. I was there. It’s the left side, the northwest side that you WANT to be on not the east side you don’t want to be to the right of the hurricane. That’s where you get flooding AND potential tornadoes.
Why is he saying everything so backwards upside down and opposite of what’s true?! LIES.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life (present), and shall not come into judgment (future), but has passed from death into life (past).” There are 66 books total. Please read John, Romans, 1 John, and Revelation. Use an accurate translation like the KJV, NKJV, NASB, or LSB. He loves us immensely. All we have to do to be saved is believe in Him.

[rockdisappeared]

Let me just point out the fact that that is when the EYE is going to make landfall (the center of the storm), and that Florida is beginning to feel the brunt of the Category 5 hurricane right now which will weaken it by the time the EYE of the storm arrives on land.
For all the other little islands you all say plainly the category when it’s starting to buffet them, not the category that it will be when the eye wall comes ashore. It’s a category 5.

[JT-wqgz]

When they are going to stop giving these hurricanes nicknames as if they are our friends 😂. Milton sounds friendly as hell, there’s no nothing friendly about this hurricane

[Yoshinomic-hmhf]

How does the computer know where it's going to land?

[Gonergrat]

8 to 12 in isn't that bad Hurricane Hugo in Houston had 55 in 2 days

[-Muhammad_Ali-]

Lots of rainfall will bring waters up. Would that cause alligators and bunch of snakes along spiders etc ending up in living rooms and hospitals?
