Stay Safe Floridians

[Tim Mayo]

I know we have some Floridians here. Hopefully you are all bunkered down somewhere safe and not standing on the coast taking photos like we do over here whenever a storm hits! Although our storms are pussy cats compared to yours. Fingers and toes crossed that it's not going to be as bad as they say.

I second the sentiment

Cheers guys, Milton is very serious business indeed. Its going to affect a very wide area.
I'm roughly where the blue dot is on this map (so it won't be so bad for me):

I do have friends and family in Orlando though, and they are going to have a rough time with it starting tonight.
I know we probably have under a dozen FL members, but I hope you all keep safe and have evacuated if your area has called for it.

Stay safe Chris, and all other Floridians here, even a long distance from their centres these storms can be dangerous.

Sunset was wild this evening, fast moving low clouds and bright colors (when not blocked by thicker bands). I wish I had driven out to take pictures, but my wife wouldn't allow it.

My sister in Orlando is likely dealing with 50-ish mph gusts of wind and tornado warnings. Will continue to monitor.

Hope you all had a safe night. I read that Milton has just been downgraded to force 1 so hopefully the worse is behind you.
