Did you know more people actually die in the days to weeks AFTER disasters like #Helene due to lack of access to medications and treatments for chronic diseases? Proactively ask your insurance company about a disaster override to ensure you have your medications early.

I just approved an emergency declaration from the State of Florida and ordered federal assistance to supplement response efforts that may arise due to emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Milton. We expect this storm to again make landfall in western Florida and are working quickly to preposition federal response personnel and assets.

This is the graphic I was afraid to refresh. Storm Surge updated. Tampa Bay area in particular is now 10-15 feet, which is nothing this area has seen in the past 100+ years. If verifies. Unimaginable devastation. If told to evacuate. Evacuate please! spaghettimodels.com

UPDATE: The pressure of 897 mb from #Milton was the 5th most intense Atlantic basin hurricane on record. Lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. Only 6 storms have ever dropped below 900 mb in the Atlantic basin in modern history, including now Milton. @WINKNews

Monday 8pm NHC update on Milton. 180mph winds. 897mb pressure (near record low). "MILTON POSES AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS THREAT TO FLORIDA AND RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO FOLLOW THE ORDERS OF LOCAL OFFICIALS". Current NWS wind gust map through the state and what they expect. Might change. Wiggle Wobble. But paints the picture and idea of what can come. I will be live at 9pm ET. spaghettimodels.com

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

If you are evacuating north from Florida for #Milton, these are some of the good choices to go to, as well as where NOT to go (due to residual impacts from #Helene). Green - Good choice Yellow - City is OK but hotel space may be scarce due to impacts nearby Red - Not a good idea
