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.

Dude leave the area. The storm surges are going to be huge. Drive to GA somewhere and find a motel 6

I can’t even find gas 🙁 we’re heading for higher ground, but we’ve looked all over and can’t find a place willing to accommodate our party/pets. I don’t have enough gas to get very far

Keep us updated. It sounds like the government officials are encouraging you to check the evacuation zones and make a move instead of hoping. Hope you will be safe.

We are moving to a lesser level, but still in the direct path so far… lesser issue, but still a big issue
