We are safely tucked away in a Cracker Barrel parking lot near Ocala Florida, considered the "Horse Capital of the World" by some. I think more of the old tv show Sea Hunt which was filmed at what is now Silver Springs State Park. With ALL the people running away from what is now a Milton, a Cat 5 Hurricane now predicted to hit on Wednesday night, Thursday morning, it took us 4 + hours to go 80 miles...how fun was that!
There is Milton out in the Gulf...looks mean...
Thank goodness we will be camping 250 miles away...
I'm watching the radar constantly. What bothers me is you never really know if the weather guys are exaggerating to get folks to leave or just for the drama and TV ratings. I think they missed on the last one a bit, it was bigger than they said ... and I hope they are wrong on this one. Glad you got out when you did.
ReplyDeleteYou just don't mess with a cat 4 or 5. Two years ago Tampa faced this same scenario...and at the last minute the hurricane turned south and hit Sarasota and Fort Myers instead. Will that happen again??? Or will it turn north and make us homeless????
DeleteNot matter which way Milton turns, someone is going to be homeless. Some lost so much with Helene, they can't afford to leave.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe!
It's about time.
Yep, I have been thinking the same thing... Thought maybe it could go through the Everglades, but when it came over to the Atlantic side that would be a highly populated area, it is a no win situation.
DeleteGlad you both are safe. Praying for everyone in Florida.
