Rogers prefers thongs... everyone knows that!

At least that's what Clowny told me.

Try to control yourself... I KNOW you can do it!

(Run, Rogers, run!)

Yeah, now they have it a Cat 3 heading to Tampa and Orlando.

Who used to mow my lawn. Fine people.

"Hurricane forecast: Milton may bring worst surge in a century to Tampa, southwest Florida

Despite uncertainty about exactly how Milton plays out, there is high confidence that destructive surge is coming to Southwest Florida on Wednesday, with the potential for the worst surge in more than 100 years in the Tampa Bay area. Widespread wind and rain impacts are also coming to northeast, central, and south Florida."

"Milton is drifting east today and will continue moving a little south of due east through Tuesday, when it will pass just north of the Yucatan peninsula.

That is a very unusual direction of movement for a strong Gulf hurricane, one reason there remain few if any apt historical comparisons to Milton."

"However, Milton will not hook north toward the Panhandle, as a west-to-east-oriented subtropical jet over the Southeastern U.S. will keep the hurricane hustling eastward midweek, even as it gains latitude crossing the southeastern Gulf.

Therefore, Milton is expected to make landfall somewhere between the Nature Coast and Marco Island, most likely on Wednesday.

Models are nudging a bit back to the south on Sunday after jogging north yesterday, and it is simply too early to pick a landfall point within this range."

lol... I'm in Horse Country in N central FL now... so the last one missed us to the north and this one will miss us to the south.

We'll get some wind and rain, but here in the middle of the Upper Penis it's usually not so bad.

Comparatively speaking.

Last year 11 people died of random lightening strikes; this is who they were, where they were, and what they were doing on a form:

There is still debris lying around from Helene in some areas, which is just more ammo for Milton.

Hurricane Milton Becomes Strongest Atlantic Hurricane In 5 Years With 175 mph Winds

And... my county just went from Watch to Warning.

Thanks, Milton!

I guess it's just going to me and my wife, Taylor Swift, without lights for a day or two.

Could be worse. I lived in Naples for 20 years, but I moved north before the Big One about 6 or so years ago.

Then last Christmas I was back there, and with the other storms they've gotten, well some of the beaches, which are all at least in some sense, public, will never be the same or no longer exist.

DJT would be shocked.
