200PM ET Hurricane Milton Update & Helene Impacts Update
* Apologies once or twice Dave referred to Hurricane Helene instead of Hurricane Milton.
From the GeoCollaborate StormCenter Communications SISE Support Center this is the 200pm ET update on the tropics and recovery effort weather. This video is provided to support the movement of fleet utility vehicles and sharing of trusted information across public and private sectors to speed situational awareness, response and recovery.
KEY MESSAGES: HURRICANE MILTON
Key Messages:
1. Milton is forecast to quickly intensify while it moves eastward
to northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico and be a major hurricane
when it reaches the west coast of the Florida Peninsula mid week.
Users are reminded to not focus on the details of the forecast as
there remains significant uncertainty in the eventual track and
intensity of Milton.
2. While it is too soon to specify the exact magnitude and location
of the greatest impacts, there is an increasing risk of
life-threatening storm surge and damaging winds for portions of the
west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early
Wednesday. Storm Surge and Hurricane Watches could be issued later
today or tonight. Residents in the Florida Peninsula should follow
any advice given by local officials and check back for updates to
the forecast.
3. Areas of heavy rainfall will impact portions of Florida today
and Monday well ahead of Milton, with heavy rainfall more directly
related to the system expected later on Tuesday through Wednesday
night. This rainfall will bring the risk of flash, urban, and areal
flooding, along with the potential of moderate to major river
flooding.
4. Tropical storm conditions are expected beginning Monday across
portions of the northern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico where a
Tropical Storm Warning is in effect.

Don't forget about Hurricane Ian 2 years ago - I was here (Charlotte County) for Charley in 2004 and Ian was 100 times worse - we are still recovering from it.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Helene ??????? you meant Milton I believe

[@KamalaGaveMyBlackJobToMigrants]

[@charliemarsh2964]

[@giminai8000]

G-d Help us 🙏🏻 please evacuate if you’re ordered to do so. Nothing is more valuable than your own life. It’s obvious that there’ll be power outages in areas that are not in the cone. Thank you sir.

[@davek6461]

I understand we all make mistakes, but if you present yourself as being an information outlet for gov agencies, commerce, etc,, it would help to know the name of the storm youre talking about. Pls. Post it in front of you so you can be clear n precise. There is enough confusion out here. Tu.

Apologies for calling Milton Helene. We are providing updates for response to Hurricane Helene as well. I think we need more sleep on our end. In order to get the video out timely we didn't catch those errors. But we will next time. Thanks for watching.
