Extreme Wind Warning in place for #Tampa and #SaintPetersburg as #Milton comes ashore. This warning is only used when a major #hurricane is making landfall. Treat this like a tornado warning and head to the most interior room, away from windows. Stay sheltered. #wx
We now have Tropical Storm #Milton. Wind speeds near 40 mph. #Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to make frequent flights into the storm over the next few days. #Florida Peninsula should be preparing ahead of this system, especially areas that have been impacted by Helene. #wx
#Kirk is a beast of a #hurricane this evening. Wide eye and solid eyewall. Maintaining Cat 4 status with winds near 145mph. Fortunately no impact to land, however, large swells are expected to impact parts of the US East Coast this weekend. Stay safe if heading to the beach. #wx
