Hurricane Milton Approaches

I do a bit of hurricane weather forecasting for friends north of Tampa. Things are looking grim right now regarding Hurricane Milton. 

“The forecasts don’t look good. On Wednesday evening, October 10th, you will suffer a direct hit by a hurricane traveling east-northeast on areas north of Tampa - the eye of the storm, basically. There will be plenty of rain in advance, so there will be nowhere for the hurricane floodwaters to go. Strength looks like a Category 3 storm - strong enough to cause serious damage. The track looks like it’ll head towards areas south of Jacksonville.”

There are also suggestions that a follow-up hurricane might occur, but no indication at this time where it might hit - Tampa, Ft. Myers, Cuba, Miami, and the Bahamas are all possibilities.
