Warning to the Media live covering Milton Hurricane

[HaShev]

If you are sending live reporters to the Hurricane cone areas especially around Tampa-St Pete, please be advised NOT TO DO AN OUTSIDE COVERAGE, IT'S TOOOOOO DANGEROUS with all the debris and destroyed building piles by the curbs, they become dangerous projectiles in the high winds.
Those wading through flooded streets please note some aligators have been seen floating in those waters, and you don't want to find out if sharks are too.
Stay safe and Pray for Cedar Key and Tampa and the gulf coast of FL.

This thing has ramped up to 180+ mph winds --That would be a Cat 6 if the scale when that high -- and pushing a storm surge of 15 feet.

The peop[le in the direct path of this monster need to leave.

RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

This is going to be bad and Biden's FEMA hasn't even set up shop for the last one yet.

Wed is going to be national disgrace day or for our citizens, one of our finest moments.

Please, people, leave the area.

I know someone who lives in St. Pete's. They bugged out this morning until this thing is over.

It's a 5-6 as you say in the Carribean, however the waters are cooling down, especially by night when it draws closer to shore and the sheer will lessen it to a 3-4 by landfall. It will be the floods and surge, maybe tornados, and idiocy of FL dot trapping people in traffic, because they do construction during hurricane season & keep the merge lanes-taking away lanes with closed construction lanes during hurricanes.

It looks like Florida recovered pretty well in spite of the federal government's lack of response. The people who were killed were on the east coast that was hit by a tornado

What happened to Anderson Cooper, I heard he got hit in the face during his outside coverage.... they never listen, I was eerily accurate as usual, I think that's 16 or 17 in a row?
Even the warning about gas stations selling out, I was the one lobbying for U.S. refined Gas reserves to be stategically placed in Hurricane evac areas (in specific places States already own and have the infrastructure for) to be usable access in emergencies like this. Former Gov Huckabee was supposed to pass the proposal on to Trump, but he did not. Congressmen ignored it as well. Hence the result of not being accessible and or not listening to ideas that solve multiple issues.

yeah the problem is when fleeing you many times go into more problems then staying, sometimes same risks.
Always note Tornados and heavy winds occur on the right side of these storms, trying to flee the cone or inland does not assure safety. Sometimes people go to towns where power is also out and even in fleeing some rush back worried to see damage and run into a whole new kind of hell worrying because the media overstated the extent of damage, forcing people back into power outages and shortages. Fleeing has no choice though if you live to close to the surge and in low above sea levels, do the math 12' surge is huge, but note also 10-15" of rain is not 10-15" floods it causes feets of water in soaked areas.
