The tornadoes were a surprise for sure. 99% of all hurricane spawned tornadoes are very weak- F0s and F1s. The ones we had with Milton were strong violent wedge tornadoes - the kind you see in super cell thunderstorms. That was unusual. I’m well inland from Tampa and had no damage. We are going on 36 hours without power but we prepared for it with fuel & a generator. I don’t know that anyone around here was surprised by what we experienced. One of my close friends & neighbors does have a large limb through her living room ceiling, but they’re all ok.

Yeah, saw this yesterday, and I'm still befuddled; why was a CRANE allowed to stay up with an impending Cat 3/4 storm on the way? Forcasters were announcing Milton's arrival and its crazy storm development at least a week and a half prior to landfall. Wouldn't the company realize, "Huh, yeah, we need to take this thing down, or it's gonna fall.".... ? 🤦🏾♀️ This caused entirely avoidable damage, not to mention being potentially injurious or deadly to someone! 😤 Very irresponsible and indifferent to life and property. 😠

I live in Canada, just a block from a lakeside park and sometimes we get very high winds and rain being blown sideways, big trees swaying towards our apartment building, terrible thunder and lightning, power outages and it terrifies me. Can't imagine how frightening a hurricane would be. My thoughts are with all who are returning home to 'pick up the pieces' and who have lost loved ones to this devastating act of Mother Nature. May They All RIP 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

Not everyone can leave. If you have the money to travel, the gas stations might be out of gas. Then the traffic so bad, you might as well take cover in your own house. Then there are the disabled and those with many animals. It’s hard for a lot of the most vulnerable people to leave on such short notice. Don’t be so quick to judge.

Officials always tell us to evacuate so that they don't have to risk the lives of first responders trying to save them but people still stay. If you have unique reasons that make evacuation more difficult you have to plan well in advance. Like at the beginning of each year. Many schools convert to shelters. Often there are shelters nearby. It doesn't always require a hotel stay. Our next door neighbors are both teachers. They always help manage the school shelter and stay through the storms.
