Hopefully Milton is it this season with landfalls. Kirk and Leslie are no threat to land just swells.

I have three separate friends who all live just north of Tampa in Spring Hill. I tried to convince them to leave for a couple of days. But only 1 of the 5 are going to. They just saw what happened with last week’s storm, I don’t understand why risk your life.

Started in the gulf

curious if the location it started in is a "common" place that hurricanes form? Seems odd maybe @Bassmaster can chime in on my question?

I thought the same thing. I would have thought tracking north or west.

They are actually predicting it LEAVING the other side of Florida as a CAT 1. That storm is a beast!
