  1. I think it means thar Florida will cease to be a habital state in a few short years.

  2. A cat 5 is has sustained winds of 150 MPH. Milton currently has winds of 180.

    With the mild winter, hot summer and shallower water in the gulf of Mexico, water tempatures are higher than normal, allowing the strong rapid growth.

  3. I use to think of hurricanes as bowling balls because of their paths. Now I think of them as giant steam rollers.

  4. That at least it’s not a category 6 hurricane, which starts at 192 MPH. Something to be thankful for.

  5. Spoke to a lady earlier today that was rushing to Florida from the west coast in order to catch an early flight for her vacation in the Caribbean. I didn’t know how to process that. Still don’t.
