Weather thread, Part II

The thought of a storm surge like that just breaks my heart. Even if it ends up being much less than that, why not just go?
For those recommending evacuation.......are you saying everyone in the storm's path should evacuate?
Or just some should evacuate?
What about those in Central Florida?
East coast?
South west?
North west?
===========
So the time to evacuate is now (or even yesterday - or the day(s) before).
Who is that directed to?
Everyone?
Is there enough room on the roadways?
Hotel/motels?
Where should they go?
==========
NBC news report.....no answers to the above questions......thus 100% useless:

Hurricane Milton: 'Potentially catastrophic' Category 5 storm takes aim at Florida
The latest news on Hurricane Milton as it heads toward Florida, which was impacted by Hurricane Helene just weeks ago. Follow live as the storm approaches landfall.

Googled "Milton who should evacuate" and got this from the AP....again...zero answers to my questions:

My disdain for how the weather is reported is on record.......and goes back many decades.
This coming from a forum member who started a thread called "Useful DIY videos thread"
In the YT search box, I typed in Hurricane Milton who should evacuate.....
Here's one - the Sarasota homeowner being interviewed says "she doesn't know where to evacuate to. Thinking Orlando - but not sure, etc." Then the news reporters responds with "We're all thinking of you - I know you have to keep packing...bye bye..."
==========
How about this map....helpful?
Here's another (Google images):
Hurricane Milton is a Category 5. Florida orders evacuations and scrambles to clear Helene's debris
The most likely path suggests Milton could make landfall Wednesday in the Tampa Bay area and remain a hurricane as it moves across central Florida into the Atlantic Ocean.

You definitely need to go to your LOCAL affiliates for specifics. Mine didn't have anything other than this:
VOLUSIA COUNTY
Your Evacuation Zone is A
Current evacuation status:
Find more information here from your local emergency management agency.
You're pretty much on your own and it seems like social media is going to be your best bet to find stuff out.
Hopefully Ronnie boy is getting the information to the people who need it since it’s his job. Sorry some don’t have the info.

I’m concerned about the amount of devastation from Milton. There’s going to be a disaster after the disaster with weeks of no power or water for portions of central Florida. The storm surge south of the eye landfall will be like a tsunami. This is not hype, but reality.
This storm is crazy strong, but thankfully pretty small.
So far the educated guesses I've seen say that by the time it hits the central part of the state it should be Cat1 max, likely lower.
If I were within about 50 miles of the west coast I'd be gone ASAP - beyond that, I'd hunker down.

Current evac orders - Volusia is included due to the storm surge, though I suspect it won't be bad as it will probably be a cat1 or TD by then:
My home will never flood......but my Mom's house DID flood 2 years ago when Ian hit. My biggest concern is the wind and according to what I'm seeing from the NWS, Thursday will be the concern with potential wind gusts up to 55 mph, so not too bad. And certainly no need to evacuate.
My newly graduated daughter at her first teaching job finally packed up and left when the cat 5 news came out. I'm glad she is well into Georgia at least.
I stayed in Mobile for a couple of hurricanes, powerful storms indeed.
If a person is in the cone they should get out!For those recommending evacuation.......are you saying everyone in the storm's path should evacuate?

USF shut down yesterday, and Lily and several of her classmates drove over to Miami to stay with a classmate's parents for a few days. Not sure when the university will open back up, but I imagine it will be closed through the end of the week.
My office here in St. Augustine is right on the water. I'm not expecting much wind damage from the hurricane, but our parking lot floods in king tides. The building is a little bit elevated, but it could flood with this storm, so I've spent the morning helping deploy a tiger dam flood barrier around the building. We'll be sent home for the rest of the week after that.
Everyone in or near this storm's path, stay safe!

Evacuations are a double edged sword.
Over call and people are MAD
Under call and people are MAD
Call it perfectly and people are MAD
