Hurricane Milton rapidly strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane Monday on a path toward Florida population centers including Tampa and Orlando, threatening a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay and setting the stage for potential mass evacuations less than two weeks after a catastrophic Hurricane Helene swamped the coastline.

Officials said they are preparing for the largest evacuation since Hurricane Irma in 2017 when about 7 million Floridians left their homes.

    Winds over 160 mph.

    Possible silver lining: Mar-a-Lago is right in its path.

            I heard from the woman that broke Jewish space lasers that “they” have the ability to move hurricanes. And so I guess “they” wanted to protect trumps orange house because “they” are secretly working for project 2025 and there’s probably a level Q drop coming soon to explain how this is all part of the plan but also is part of a different plan that true Americans have to fight like hell against…

            God even play acting one of the brainwormed people for a paragraph is exhausting

            If this god protected Trump while letting a ton of other people die, it’s a real asshole of a god.

      Anyone watching to see if Trump moves any more classified documents out of there before the storm hits?

        I don’t know… don’t they always tell you to seek refuge in a bathroom in these situations?

          Only by virtue of the bathroom historically being the lowest, centermost room of a typical American home (and usually without windows that can break in a storm). If that is not the case for you, you should make a mental note of where in your house is such a place.
