That's what our team is telling me.

Loads of rain but less wind..

Greetings from Sarasota. Major Hurricane Milton is coming. Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci is there:

Big tornado on @JordanHallWX‘s stream right now in Lorinda, FL. Go watch live on the @MyRadar
app NOWx

Milton’s freshwater flooding

Milton will drop a broad 4 to 8 inches of rain, with localized 12 inch totals. The National Weather Service has drawn a high risk of flash flooding and excessive rainfall. Even inland, flooding will be a serious concern. Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.

Tornado risk increasing

The risk of tornadoes is growing in central and southern portions of the Florida Peninsula and Keys. An isolated significant (EF2+) tornado is possible. The risk increases quickly through noon along the Gulf Coast, then spreads inland. Tap for update from Matthew Cappucci.

BREAKING

The eye of Hurricane #Milton is now visible from the Key West radar (KBYX).

Landfall looks like overnight and into early Thursday morning, around 2:00 A.M.

Our lead Broadcast Team Meteorology responded with.

"Those are just Thunderstorms"

Apparently, no one has named that structure anything.

The Hamster thinks we should give those types of structures a name of "Hamster Ball".

> "And as is usual with large powerful hurricanes, Milton is preceded by a Hamster Ball of Thunderstorms."

Good morning, Florida. Milton is now on final approach. In 12 to 18 hours, it will be making a potentially disastrous landfall.

Meteorologist @MatthewCappucci is working on his morning forecast from Sarasota and will have an update soon. He's noting downpours/lightning.

@janallmac
Honestly the hamster doesn't know what that leading structure is called, but it is normal, with really large strong hurricane structure approaching land.

The Hamster will go ask the meteorologists what that structure is called when they come online and get back to you.

@janallmac

The Hamster will have to ask the team for exact numbers, but from memory, it's not a yearly thing, but it does happen from time to time.

There was even this time when the Hamster saw a hurricane cross The Swamp land, circle around and cross The Swamp again!

Here in Orlando, where the hamster keeps their Habitrail, it's just a really wet windy day, Think Nor'easter but souther

#milton is a NEAR-PERFECT circle ⭕️

This symmetry demonstrates a perfectly-constructed storm, bringing with it extreme power.

It’s rare to see this in the Atlantic…let alone with crosshairs on Florida.

Good Morning Folks.

Your MyRadar Repeating Hamster lives in the path of Milton, but is safe and away from the coast.

The Hamster will attempt to keep CoSo updated with the latest weather news from the MyRadar meteorology team, but circumstances beyond the Hamster's control may interfere with tooting.

Debris stretches endlessly along the roads of Siesta Key, Florida. Just under two weeks ago, storm surge from Helene devastated the area, and with Milton approaching in just one day, these communities have no time to recover.
