Tropical Update: Tropical Storm Milton forms in Gulf of Mexico, expected to head to Florida

The storm is expected to move to the northeast and affect Florida as a tropical storm or possibly a hurricane.

We had 4 hurricanes in 1 month in 2004 in Florida. In 2005 we watched Hurricane Katrina go roaring up the gulf to New Orleans...

[Random-otme]

Nope. Stay the flip away from Tampa Bay. We're not even close to completing basic clean-up from Helene. The ground is saturated and Red Tide has been detected here in Pinellas County.

[MrAlexd]

Just wondering why there’s no talk about Helene aftermath and what we can do to help?!

[tascrphs]

Oh oh... where's Mr. Sharpie when you need him.

I have family in Sumter, Citrus, Lee counties.Prayers for them and all people living in the Hurricane Path.🙏💙

im confused how much hurricanes or tropical storms in the sea

[yellowbird]

Because most of the west coast of Florida can be hit, shown by the models, and it will be crossing Florida, that's just about the entire state. Where is anyone to go? They say, "Get out!" but get out where? Most of us are not ready to drive to Georgia, Alabama, etc. as many of those areas are messed up too. Florida is a mess all the way up the coast and beyond. If we go south, it could come in down there. And I suspect hotels are full.

The government found out how to create a hurricane

[edgarchegwin]

Yes, he is absolutely right, the impact from Milton on the central or south Florida peninsula has the potential to be catastrophic, same as Helene.. I ve been to so many hurricanes here in MIami, and I am aware of the tremendous devastation that this one could bring about over us, same as Andrew in 1992 and WIlma in 2005 did. My prayers are with all of us here in this area for God to protect us from harm, rgs

Pay attention to the 1st few seconds of the video. The way the dude is positioned in front of the palm tree looks like his hair blowing around.

[Bnguyen]

That’s one hella slow moving storm, 3mph?

[H-TownForeEver]

I was hoping it would come here, dang

[stevel]

Dumb and dumber providing useless hype, supposition and frenzied reporting.
Do yourself a favor and skip all this nonsense and go to NOAA's official hurricane tracker.

[TexasTribleChief]

Milton is gunna make landfall on my 23rd B-Day bruh 😭

[jimmyolsen]

With all of that warm golf water to pass over it will be a category five by the time it hits Florida

[tbc]

I couldn’t live down there worrying about this shit for months on end. I mean, damn, talk about a constant interruption in your life.

[Michelle-bnfu]

Maybe having the most relevant or most current tropical update at the top of searches would make sense. It is kind of sad that "eye candy" and number of "likes" is ranked higher in a life or death situation!

[JonathanJones-vy]

Thought that was the guys hair for a minute

[macandcheeks.]

Hurricane Milton is coming for a another round two

[davidbryant]

Residents of florida...get ready...you already know the federal government will not be there to assist.
