Have all these channels open right now. Some crazy videos of the clouds, some getting ready to become tornados. Scary stuff, however, very interesting.

Its mad. From Max vel, he says that every storm on radar is rotating.

Looks like one if EF4 for sure

It's a good job the vast majority of people actually evacuated if there's a tonne of gatornados as well

I have family in Florida, but thankfully they’re in Delray Beach, well south of Milton’s expected path, so should avoid the worst of it, this time. It’s a lovely place to visit, with the beaches, the intracoastal, the bars and restaurants, but I just don’t know why you’d stay there with that sword of Damocles dangling over your head for months of every year. What they pay out for insurance mist be absolutely eye watering, I’ve just never really wanted to ask, as I imagine it might be a bit of a sore point.

It's absolutely mental isn't it. Fascinating to watch. But scary to think of the reality these people are in.

 

[Droolinggimp]

The advice is to stop and basically pray

This is what you should do if you are driving and there is a tornado on the ground

Driving while a tornado is on the ground is obviously not a predicament you want to find yourself in.

If you are caught in the tornado​

If you are caught by extreme winds or flying debris, park the car as quickly and safely as possible – out of the traffic lanes. Stay in the car with the seatbelt on. Put your head down below the windows, and cover your head with your hands and a blanket, coat or other cushions if possible.

I'm due to visit Orlando next month for work...going to be interesting to say the least.

It must feel like the end times if you’re caught up in that. How many times has this happened before with multiple tornadoes touching down ahead of a hurricane?

Sort of, Hurricane Agnes in 1972 dropped nearly 20 tornados ahead of it, Hurricane Ivan in 2004 dropped about 14

Is it me or do those cars seem to be travelling at some speed? ton of water being displaced so lots of ground water, seems rather careless. Probably the traffic cam and perspective.

BBC have released an article on how the hurricane is not engineered
