How strong is Hurricane Milton and where is it going?

Hurricane Milton is one of the strongest storms on record in the Atlantic Basin. WFMY Chief Meteorologist Tim Buckley breaks it down.

🚨Important note 🚨 — When explaining the possible storm surge I badly misspoke about the Tampa area. The expected storm surge there is over 12 feet. This is a devastating amount and more than the 4-5 feet that happened with Helene. You are in big danger along that coastline on its current path. Apologies for this error.

Thank you for explaining the lingo, Tim. You do a great job, have a good "stage presence, " as we say in the production world, and an engaging voice and diction. I'm sure you've been told that numerous times. Bless you, Deborah.

You can’t stop the cat5 waves in front of the hurricane no matter how it changes. They are on their way now.
