Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!

Post by Taipan »

This does not look good, to put it mildly. I have relatives in the New Port Richey area and they've evacuated as advised as have most of the predicted affected area residents I expect. There will of course be some that stay and amybe even soem that cant get out! :thumbdown:


"Tampa Mayor Jane Castor warned residents ahead of Hurricane Milton's landfall that if they stay in the evacuation area, they will die"!

Biden gave a presser yesterday to talk about the storm prep etc & decided his time would be better spent telling us how he has a plan to remove lead water pipes, especially in ethnic communities, then briefly mentioned the storm at the end as if he'd forgotten about it...

TBF he probably had forgotten about it and even why he was there. Poor sod looked to have had a marked decline in his abilities when I saw him recently. Fortunately he doesn't have long before he's put out to pasture...

Looks like it downgraded when it hit land, but of course has still left a wake of destruction and floods in its path. Not heard from my cousins to see if the still have a house yet. :shock: I gather they were expecting the worse and i cant get my head round that. Imagine being told to leave your house and then not knowing if you're coming back to nothing other than a pile of firewood! :crazy:

Looks like we're getting the same hurricane force winds from the northeast in southern France, as well...
