As someone who helped move all that debris out of my sister's home the past two weekends in Shore Acres...and seeing street after street, for miles in every direction with these same piles of memories lost...you cannot imagine the square metric tons of debris that Milton's winds are going to toss around like paper airplanes in all directions...and the storm surge that can push even the largest debris dumpsters you see like they were toys into whats left of people's homes from Helene. This will be biblical devastation. I pray for those not running full speed away from this monster.

St. Pete and the surrounding areas will never be the same. Been here since I was a little girl, so many wonderful memories. ❤️ Praying for us all in Tampa Bay 😩💔

Florida needs to be turned into a big campground that you can pack up and move at the end of summer

US FULLY SUPPORTS YOU!!!

I would be devastated if everything I ever worked for was destroyed. And at my time of need the democratic party turned their back on us to help foreign aid illegal immigrants and not Americans. Makes a real fool outta them

[deborahleach]

Praying to God that he may have mercy and turn this storm. Are there any believers out there? Lord have mercy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Brisbane Australia was like that in 2011. It was terrible, like this. God Bless to all the people affected from the hurricane. We are watching and praying for you all and send our love 💕

Projectiles, debris, detritus, more broken windows, houses torn off foundations, horror to come. The chemical and effluent spills are even worse in North Carolina, but if Tampa gets hit directly by Milton, chemical pollution could be unprecedented since the huge BP oil spill underwater in the gulf.

This storm is going to cause a lot of damage, because of all the debris that’s out on the streets.

Those trash piles are full of 110.mph missles !

As a lifelong Floridian, I am glad I grew up farther inland. Right now I'm in Lakeland getting prepared. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.❤

[Judy-of]

I can't imagine having to go through that. God bless everyone affected and prayers that Milton isn't as bad as predicted.

[realitycheck]

So sad, I am so sorry to the people facing this. Again.🙏💔

I lived in Florida for 17 years 1945 til 1963. I don't remember anything like this. Praying for my family and friends that are there!!!❤ and prayers!!. Stay safe, and leave if you can. Don't ✋️ wait until it is too late to go!!!.

[judywebb]

Oh, my goodness. Praying Milton loses its force before it strikes land. Prayers for all the victims 🙏

[lindywolfe]

You couldn’t get me to live there for $1 million let alone stay after Helene and Milton’s coming

"To avoid storm drains from clogging, " a preparation expert noted, "Rubble from this storm should not be lining the streets when the next storm arrives in a couple of days."

🙏🙏🙏🙏Prayers for Florida from a western North Carolina resident! Please evacuate as far as you can! ✝️God bless and help, to keep you all safe!

Florida has a good governor he is making the dumps stay open and has tons of trucks cleaning up debris before the new hurricane.
