Tampa Bay in the bullseye of Hurricane Milton!

[bbncal02]

Just got a message from our cable/internet provided telling us that if the power goes out that our internet and cable will also be affected....

Sadly they have to put that out because people have complained on stuff like that before. We don't have the smartest bananas in the bunch these days......

Florida peeps, how are you? Hope everything is ok.

I mean, hurricanes are no joke. But I get they're kinda in disbelief because TB hasn't seen a storm quite like this in nearly 100 years.

No word from my aunt yet. She lives a few blocks from Tropicana.

Other aunt said they have all the roads in Pinnellas closed and tampa/st pete should shelter inside until notified.

Saw the Tropicana roof and a crane fell downtown.

The tornadoes videos from yesterday are something else.

Getting 40 mph gusts here. Didn't lose power so that's a win.

Everyone good I know in the affected areas. Power out from Tampa to Orlando.

Good to hear you are good. Hope your aunt is ok.

Sounds like maybe it wasn't as bad as they thought? Or is that just cause we still haven't heard from some areas?

That would be great to see if it wasn't.

Tampa was way overdue. 100 f’ing years. Sorry for anyone else up that way but Ian smacked us hard two years ago we didn’t need that shit again/that soon. So fortunate we didn’t get direct hit here in FM. Still got quite a bit of storm surge though.

Florida had over 100 tornado warnings yesterday which is a new record I think.

Still not seeing much on aftermath yet. It definitely broke up a good bit at landfall.

"Hey, a major hurricane is coming. Let's just leave this crane up".

I mean wtf?

Landscape debris and no wifi/TV for 10 hours is extent of things here east of I-75 in Bonita Springs. Feel very fortunate for thar dry air from the South that intervened yesterday..

Now that we're past the worst of the storm, time to find this mofo.

What if that dog just sucked?

^ Not funny. You suck, maybe somebody should have tied you to a fence.
