[H]HURRICANE MILTON - GULF OF MEXICO

I pray not, but this feels like Katrina all over again.

As seen in Tornado Alley Weather page on FB: 


Guys Helene only brought 6 ft storm surge to Tampa. This is much worse. If it’s a direct hit then you are looking at another Houston with Harvey and another New Orleans with Katrina. If you are in those evac zone if you can then please leave.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor: “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die.”

Yes, but it has not been really used in this area for decades.

Definitely not and not by accident. This is being covered at length. There is a ton of relief traffic coming east bound/south bound. They opened up the shoulder to create another lane but they do not Contraflow. They have utility help coming all the way from California on their way now. As you can see, there is still southbound traffic arriving. They need supplies and routes.

No contra, not an accident, it's part of their disaster plan. I've been hearing it from Florida Emergency Mgmt all day..(Florida resident.)

Hope that helps.

Also edit the tolls are waived and free Uber rides to shelters are also being provided.

If it keeps going S, is south FL still not in play? A few models have had a low outlier...

Hopefully this trend continues through the night and tomorrow. Hopeful
