Still looking like landfall is going to be in the Sarasota area. But these things are infamous for making last-minute course changes that go against the forecast.

Even if it makes landfall at Sarasota, Tampa Bay is f*****.
The newest update says it's going to make landfall as a strong category 4 instead of a category 3. Things just got even worse.

Yes, everything from cedar Key to fort Meyers is going to get hit hard. Milton still a cat 5 with 160 mph winds as of this mornings update from NHC. Will definitely make landfall as a cat 4.
New wind models have 130 to 135 mph winds. Sustained. Tampa Bay including my area will see the worst of the Winds.
Also I'm not holding my breath that it'll take a sudden turn to the left and hit Tampa Bay directly.
Also not holding my breath that it'll be a category 5 when it makes landfall.
Public Health Emergency declared for Florida.
All city facilities closed across Bay Area.
Emergency Operation Centers Across Tampa Bay now in full operation.
Debris and waste pickup will continue until no longer possible to help minimize flying debris created from last hurricane last week still.
Government alerting people to expect to be without power for up to a week or more across the Tampa Bay Area.
FEMA already prepping sites setting up food and water distribution centers already expecting hundreds of thousands if not millions in coming weeks to be without food, water, and other crital supplies.
FEMA has shipped in over 6,000,000+ meals already to Bay Area.

It's hitting wind shear right now and has already dropped to a cat 4. With the wind shear in place, highly unlikely it will intensify again.
Just got another alert on my phone. 
Last chance to get out...

Tornadoes ongoing over the Everglades right now, and these tornadoes will spread north and east.
We'll have a special tornado update in @MyRadarWX shortly:

For you in the path of Milton or in the aftermath of Helene are you aware if you have an iPhone 14 or above and iOS 18 you can contact emergency services via satellite if cell service is out. You should take the SOS demo. You need to be in an open area with a clear view of the sky… a good idea to check it out ahead of need.
