Hurricane Hurricane Milton



some of these tornadoes today have looked straight out of a May afternoon on the plains.

Absolutely in awe of the size. Unreal.
 
According to ABC Action News Tampa Bay an Extreme Wind Warning is coming from the Tampa Bay NWS for Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee & Sarasota Cos. This includes St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, Bradenton & Sarasota. Milton is no longer completely "Tropical". Edit: This means the eyewall will have a wider stretch of extreme high winds, which will go thru Downtown Tampa.

Do we need to make a separate thread for the potential tornado damage of Milton? I'll let mods figure that one out. Because it might get crowded in here with discussion of that

Also another bad tornado down by port solareno
 
6 PM eastern update maintains pressure and winds. Tampa about to be hit hard.
