Major Hurricane Ian and SERIOUS problems for Florida coming!

[@luananoel6786]

Prayers going out to everyone. Thank you for what you're doing for us Mike.

[@lisak-inkplaylove9353]

Thank you so much for this channel. It has been my go-to since this thing was called Invest 98. My family is fairly new to Florida and this is our first Hurricane experience. You make the information clear and understandable, while being one-stop for all the latest. Can’t thank you enough. Stay safe.

Thank you for your calm, consistent coverage of the storm. ❤ from Satellite Beach

[@anthonymarshall2653]

Satellite here as well, I work for the city. We spent the day filling sand bags to the sports park by the library. Make sure you come down and grab some tomorrow morning, we should be back up and running tomorrow at 8am😅.

Wow I just sold my house in interbay Tampa. Lived there for 30 years. Never anything bad happened. House was only 6 ft above sea level. My heart goes out to the new owners.

[@stevenmayo4291]

Prayers to everyone from Pensacola

[@cherylconnell6945]

Thank you Mike, for all that you do for us. Sending good thoughts from Coconut creek

[@maryhackney3545]

Pensacola has huge Surge issues. Most people died from the surge flooding from Ivan, and even Sally was pretty scary with surge even up into our rivers. Ivan and Sally were also painfully slow movers. If you are in an evacuation zone, you need to evacuate to somewhere safer. Be safe everyone!

[@sherryward2018]

Wonderful coverage Mike thank you.

[@rogerdevero8726]

Mike, Florida is GRATEFUL to you for your faithful and consistent analysis. Thank You, and may God bless you and your family John 14:6

[@scottcrossland8334]

Thank you for the update, Mike. I was thinking of you when I saw the surge map on the Pinellas County press conference with the governor.

[@margaretwilliams8627]

Thank you Mike have been through a few of these hurricane I think you are completely right over the warmest water 965 mb now. I’m in Jacksonville and feel it could go across the state.

[@judydavidson6554]

Stay safe Mike and family

[@keithdmaust1854]

Lake Manatee east of Bradenton could be a potential problem with extremely heavy rainfall. A few years back during a big storm the floodgates stuck closed and they were afraid the dam was going to be breached. Families living in the new housing developments east of town - if you're smart you'll be paying attention to the damn levels. Get it? Seriously though, I drove out there while it was happening and walked out on the dam. Scary stuff seeing the water right at the top and workers frantically trying to free the gates.

[@carolc1543]

I saw video of traffic leaving Tampa. It’s backed up big time

[@damongray3085]

Thanks!

Thanks, I’m in Ormond Beach, Florida and we’re supposed to get a lot of rain. Ugh

[@bf0189]

Palm Harbor here! Nervous as heck. I'm on high ground but west of 19. Hoping I'll be fine I'm well prepared but this is far the scariest storm I've experienced

[@maryriseling209]

Thanks Mike for the update stay safe

[@BobJones-gp1xy]

Florida and we Floridians are built for this! It’s BBQ time!!! We will dig our heels in, dewater and rebuild and party thru the next one too. Thanks Mike for all you do.

[@trixonic6934]

People who have never lived here keep wishing prayers and act like we arent prepared for this. Stop filling your minds with garbage that doesnt even apply to you and better yourself. All local channels dont even make a fuss before landfall unless it is urgent. Board the windows, get back up generators to get us through the week and finally use up the stockpile of food before it expires which only makes that buy worthwhile lol. I pray for everyone outside of the tampa area and suggest you come visit next hurricane season so you can ease your minds a bit

[@larryhenry719]

Thanks for the update

[@larrydugan1441]

Thanks Mike. Your are my go to guy. Great stuff.

Yall be careful! It appears un in Pensacola are safe. Praying for everyone else...stay safe!

[@WanderingWithWanda]

Thank you Mike.

[@mikehawk7294]

Weeki wachee here. See this causing major flooding west of us19. My house is flood prone with this high tide, more than 20knts of west wind and I'm flooded. Every ft of storm surge is a ft of water in my living room. Hate to say it but I think this will take a while to recover from. I pray for everyone.

[@courbry123]

Are you evacuating?

[@mikehawk7294]

@@courbry123 yes I will be going inland to around county road 41. If this does what it says it's going to do, all of Hernando beach and weeki wachee will be under water.

When they say storms spin counterclockwise, that's if your looking from above down on the storm, it spins clockwise for us surface dwellers

Atleast Palm Beach county, Broward and Dade are in the clear. A couple bands isn't bad.

A couple of bands? Are you kidding me? You have gotta be joking! Open your eyes! How stupid are you?

[@Zman26448]

@@tringo8738 sorry but it won’t. The whole state of Florida will be effected by this storm cause it’s so big in size. Althoug Tampa will see the worst effects south east fl will see loads of rain

[@markiangooley]

Near the east coast about 100 miles north of Miami. Probably will get tropical storm force winds and lots of rain. I wonder how long the power will be off. Relatively mild for us, I hope.

[@Zman26448]

Yeah tropical storm force winds still possible rain will be a bigger issue with this storm for our area
