Perhaps B.Clemms can talk him out? Has he arrived there yet?

 

[HoustonGold]

Going through the timeline, Perhaps they got him out?

This is a picture of the recently music built venue in Clearwater. A you tuber was saying they thought it would make it through since it was undoubtedly "made from very strong materials". I say it won't make it. What say you guys?

I drove by that a few months ago. I think that the cover will be ripped off by wind but debris pushed by water might be the real issue.

Nope!!!! CNN was broadcasting from the dock where his boat is docked and showed him about 15 minutes ago.

4pm NHC update: 125mph, 950mb.

Movement remains NE at 17 mph. That right turn not happening yet. The GFS has it staying NE until the east coast of FL. The Euro has it turning right about halfway across.

There are hurricane parties going on on you tube right now. Lifelong Florida residents, new Florida residents. They think this is nothing.

You made me look.

She kinda annoys me at times but even I notice when she "cleans up" and is in a dress!

 

[Madmarsha]

She's doing her Charlton Heston impersonation from The Ten Commandments.

She wasn't even scared standing in front of that wall of water!

It may have happened but I would be surprised if it did. I've never seen people that refused to evacuate being arrested. Normally they just go by several times to tell them there will be no rescue services and ask them to leave, but if they refuse they let them stay. I know there are people who refuse to leave Grand Isle and several other places down in that area.

True. Must have gotten misconstrued but it looks like the cops def. paid him a visit for that reason.

I was in one of the hurricane party chats. Got a "I went through Andrew, I'll be fine" tossed at me. Told her this is a different animal from Andrew. Am I right, guys?

Saying 9 to 13 feet from Sarasota to Fort Myers. Tampa area saying 8 to 12 feet.

They will soon learn. Hope they survive!

I bet it will be half that surge. The storm is really moving now and weakening. The wind field is pretty small overall compared to other major hurricanes.

Here is one live feed as Milton comes in. Not a party but plenty of cameras

Told her I really, really hope I'm wrong. But again reminded that the pressure of this storm got historically low, Andrew's lowest was 922 m. Heck, people don't even talk about Andrew anymore. I even learned from Katrina that you can't ignore the pressure.
