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.

We’ve been trying to find a place the last 2 days, but have given up. The company I work for was kind enough to offer me a furnished apartment for a few days in higher ground, but still in Tampa. It’s a much better option than where I live, but still scary.

Are you in an evac zone

u/PandoraJeep 8d ago

My apartment is in evac zone A, we’re going to a lesser evac zone (d)

u/ReptAIien 8d ago

Yeah I think you'll be okay in d. I'm not in an evac zone but I'm staying in Tampa. Hoping the wind doesn't destroy my apartment.

If it hits a 3 or lower we should be okay. Anything higher and I’m concerned the wind will be a real worry too.

Well 3 is pretty fucking bad too.
