Yikes, last major hurricane in Tampa / St. Pete area was in 1921! Anyone basing their decision to hunker on prior hurricanes not impacting them badly... not making a good decision.

REMINDER
Your tv news are *NOT* a safe, verifiable, reliable source of #weather information.
If what you are seeing is RED FLASHING LIGHTS, DRAMATIC MUSIC and EMOTIONAL WEATHERMEN, you are being fed BULLSHIT and #desinformation.
Do NOT get your storm information from any other sources. Go to #NHC #NOAA.
The veritable flood of dezinfo, and the waves of #misinformaiton pushed by useful idiots are gonna end up being as deadly as the storm itself.
The #hurricane is bad enough, already. Do NOT compound it by getting your information from dubious outlets.
FACTUAL, real, verifiable information about Tropical Cyclone #Milton is FREELY AVAILABLE at nhc.noaa.gov/ in very friendly format.
@kimlockhartga panic flogging for attention, including disinfo/misinfo about the hurricane.
BlueSky been a BIG venue. Don't even ask me about xitter.

Autumn time
And a hurricane's slammin'
Fish are jumping
Tossed up, into the sky...
By the storm
Don't know yet if it's peaking
So hush
Pretty baby
Get in the car, gotta fly...
