Milton Update – NO BUENO!!
Related Articles
Peeps,
I have a very ominous feeling about this and I said this to friends in text that this is going to be when all is said and done probably one of the worst hurricanes in history when all is said and done. Milton went through what is called an eyewall replacement cycle which means he produces dual eyes and then conjoins them again only to strengthen himself. There is NOTHING in his way to strengthen overnight and he has a great fuel source of 30-31* Celsius waters of the abnormally warm gulf to aid in this and low to no shear. Now when he gets up towards Tampa he is to weaken but the damage is done. And there will be damages starting tomorrow as he is to make landfall now at about 1AM Thursday Night.
Pray for those who are hunkered down even inland for the winds will be roaring and gusts can be ferocious, driving rains and freshwater flooding.
The storm surge is historical and will be catastrophic for many.
The latest hurricane model brings him down to an 884 MB pressure storm which is record setting and would literally pop a human’s ear drum at this pressure!!
Let’s look at the maps:
CATEGORY 4 look to be the landfall scale at this time.
Landfall about 1AM Thursday Night
Full Moon High Tide to aid in the surge
I firmly believe we see a 15-20 foot surge in the purple areas is very possible. Why? His angle of attack from the SW to NE will rin the water diagonallyinto the shoreline with high tide and a CAT 5 deep pressure will cause such.
Waves:
At the heighof the storm we could see an astonishing individual wave heigh of …..40-50′
as the eye make landfall – this is like tsunami
Rain amounts 6-16″ after they have had 2-3″ since last Thursday.
This water will have nowhere to go with the surge
EURO says less but inline with copious amount sof rain 6″ plus in 24 hours still massive flooding. Again this water has no where to go due to the tidal surge
Path for Ground Zero -I have said all along between Clearwater and Sarasota.
Sarasota alooks to be ground Zero for landfall on the latest runs.
The storms like to make a last minute a jog N. Time will tell.
Again, prayers for Titi n Uncle Mike in Venice, Q in Sarasota, Vito in Englewood, and many others.
Keep the faith and remember the Father never ever leaves your side!! He is always here for you and will be.
Updates to come.
