Major Hurricane Milton

This water trace from Naples- still sharply rising- shows that Milton is not falling short of its potential for storm surge. The entire stretch of the FL coast from Venice to Naples is going to experience damaging surge.

Yes, still quite impactful along much of the west coast of Florida. Sending my best to everyone in the region tonight.

Clearwater Beach going fairly negative on water level. Reports from friends across Pinellas say flooding in some buildings, however.

Must be some flooding coming from the bay into eastern St Pete area. There’ll be over 12” rain across that whole area.

TPA now gusting 71kts SPG gusted to 82kts.  Sensor at PIE has died 

On top of the winds at SPG, they also recorded over 5 inches of rain in the last hour. That's an insane hourly rainfall rate.

If anything the rainfall threat around the northern part of the peninsula will be increasing as Milton traverses the region and continues through its extra tropical evolution—as @CoastalWx said earlier.

Edit: adding WPC discussion

We're abouts in Pinellas?

North and Central Pinellas. Non-evac zones, non-flood zones. Water is nearly entering the homes. South Pinellas, water entering in Evac C zone.

Having lived in FL - heavy rain like that is always going to cause some flooding - the water just doesn't drain off that well since everything is so flat.   It's especially exacerbated if there is damage to a storm drain, which there probably is in some areas right now.

Yes but even if the storm drainage system is not damaged its just not gonna handle this amount of water.....its like it doesn't even exist under these insane rates over so long a time.....

Just torrential rainfall continuing St. Petersburg, Tampa and Bradenton area and spreading northeast across central Florida.

Wish we had some surge data for Charlotte Harbor (Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda).  Have to believe water is piling in.

“126 tornado warnings were issued today by NWS
offices in Florida
This is a record for the State of Florida It's also the 2nd highest number of tornado warnings issued in the U.S. for a single calendar day - trailing
only the 2011 Super Outbreak (Alabama)”

I wonder what their hit rate was out of the 126? 8, 10, 16

Naples

So that’s a surge now of 6ft there and still rising fast (8ft water level minus 2ft normal). Punta Gorda further north must be even worse and will get worse as more water funnels into the harbor. The tide is also coming back in.
