Milton continues to explosively intensify in the Gulf of Mexico with 175 mph winds, marking the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Dorian in 2019.

[@TYGFE1979]

People please, just leave. Grab your loved ones and get out of harm's way. We live in Southeast Texas, lost our entire home and all belongings to Harvey Flood in 2017. Recovery is difficult, but not impossible. With or without help. EVERYTHING in life is replaceable, except Life itself. Stay safe and Prayed Up, this too shall pass.❤

This is not an Atlantic hurricane - its a Gulf hurricane

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

The Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean. These are classed as Atlantic Hurricanes.

[@vaderladyl]

the gulf is in the atlantic

[@sa4769]

This hurricane is different - RUNNN!!!

[@STho205]

[@jeffreybishop8227]

[@Imsaved777]

Where are the people to go? People are saying their is no ⛽️ gas.

[@vaderladyl]

@@STho205 go to a shelter if you live in a mobile park or flooding area or old house, if not bunker down in place.

[@Rich-lu6pd]

It’s actually not an Atlantic hurricane.

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

Who would have guessed this would happen? This was a rain storm last week and now a hurricane. Yes, if you can postally do it evacuate to Georgia or where ever you can be safe. So sorry for everyone to be going through this.

[@bigdreams5554]

Gulf waters at or above 86 degrees... Pretty obvious to us weather aficionados

[@rainfarmhawaii6685]

Actually the rain storm is over Florida now. This was a Pacific storm that crossed over the narrow part of Mexico that was right behind the rainstorm that had a 40% chance of development. They didn’t even see this one coming at first.

[@greatnorthern930]

They have been warning people for a week that another hurricane was brewing, but people laugh it off. This is a serious storm.

[@Franko-eg6iu]

Lived through eye of Camille on Mississippi coast, the monster it was. Katrina made it look like rain drop. It could have been classed a cat 6 Be safe be blessed 🤠
