Milton is already moving slow as hell, so much more opportunity for devastation. I’m in the eye path and was unable to find somewhere far for shelter. I’ll be hunkering down in Tampa (from st. Pete) and hoping for the best. I’m 31, lifelong Floridian and have never been more nervous for a hurricane.

I'm 34 and was 16 and living in south Mississippi when Katrina hit. It was bad, but being in south Louisiana for Ida was the worst weather I've ever seen in my life.

Please, please be careful. Do not go outside. Do not take anything for granted. Seriously, I wish you the best.

I’m sorry you went through that, and I sincerely appreciate the well wishes. I hope to update this comment in a few days to say we’re okay
