Surge prediction has been bumped up to 10-15ft. Fuuuck. Glad we're far enough in land that that's a concern for us.

It's weird that you're at all comforted by the projections of people who originally said that Milton wasn't even going to exceed Cat 4 and is now one of the most intense hurricanes in recorded history.
This ain't my first rodeo.

This is going to be the real problem. This and all the people who refused to replace their 15+ year old roofs because "it's fine."

It is a good thing that it will get weakened towards landfall. It would be a beast if that shear was not present.

Track shifted north. Fucker is gonna make me keep watching it. Latest track has it coming right up the middle of Tampa Bay.

Which is why I am not 100% on board with the "It will be weakened when it hits the shore" prediction. It might, but it might not....

Yeah I'm not looking forward to this one. I haven't lived down there since 2010 but my entire immediate and good chunk of extended family lives between Orlando and Ft Myers.

I was talking with a friend over the weekend about where in the US you could move to have the lowest likelihood of getting hit with a natural disaster. Fire, flood, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, ?
Phoenix claims to have no natural disaster risks outside of fire, which is baseline everywhere. While wildfire risks are low, idiot's setting shit on fire is always a risk. Monsoons bring floods, but AFAIK, the chances those actually breach the "dry" river runs are close to zero. Dumb people still die because they think they can drive through the river beds for the 3 days they actually have water in them.

Pretty much everywhere from the Rockies to the Atlantic has at least a chance of Tornados. In much of the Rockies you have higher wildfire chances, avalanche chances, flood chances, and, in some parts, earthquakes. Then of course the West coast has it's plethora of problems.

Edit: Albuquerque and Tucson may be in that same boat, but never looked at them.

I saw on a YT video that a "actual weatherdude" on TikTok claims the surge could be in excess of 60 feet tall!
Then I was forced to leave a comment that weathermen are not on ShitTok and he ain't no weatherman either.

Wonder what the odds are that one of those doppler pulses will pop on the feed and the shear will suddenly dissipate and this thing will become SSJ Milton, Breaker of Panhandles.

Might be confusing surge for waves. I just happened to be looking at information for Ivan's storm surge earlier today and it says this about it:

When Ivan entered the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory ocean-floor pressure sensors detected a freak wave, which was caused by the hurricane. The wave was around 91 feet (28 m) high from peak to trough, and around 660 feet (200 m) long. Their computer models also indicated that waves may have exceeded 130 feet (40 m) in the eyewall.

It might get just a bit more powerful but I imagine it has peaked, and it is just a matter of stability.
