Major Hurricane Milton


Recommended Posts

 

 
Tampa Bay water levels to swing wildly as Milton passes. While it appears that Tampa Bay will avoid the record surge feared if Milton passed north or directly into the bay, the proximity of Milton’s core will still significant change the bay’s water levels. Strong winds blowing offshore will likely lead to “reverse surge” – or extremely low water levels as the winds blow water out of the bay and into the ocean until the storm passes late tonight. But after the eye of the storm passes south of Tampa overnight, the winds over the Bay will change direction and start to blow from a more westerly direction. This will occur as the tide is also rising ahead of the normal high tide around 6 a.m ET. Water levels are projected to rise 6 feet in 6 hours on Thursday morning, according to NOAA forecasts.
 
At this time, water levels are not expected to reach the heights observed in Hurricane Helene two weeks ago.

Electric power holding up along most of the Tampa Bay Area for now.  Surge not an issue for now.  Extreme rain will result in localized fresh water flooding in the usual areas.  

TECO reporting 75k out now….Tampa east to almost Lakeland…..it will climb

I’m certain it will. Just thankful it’s not an issue for most in Tampa Bay as had been widely feared.  The concern over extreme record winds and record surge in TB just did not materialize.

Siesta Key @ 115 was my call from two days ago. Wishing all those in harms way the best. As many have stated the backside of this storm has some of the strongest winds associated with it. This is just beginning for many.
