From Noah Bergren on Zombie Twitter:
*****
8PM EDT: I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 225 MPH. This is now the 2nd 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 can produce. Yes, there is a mathematical limit and we are nearing that.

Here's the local police and fire for Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Merritt Island, etc. They're reporting damage from a tornado in the area of SR-520/Banana River Drive.

Brevard County Sheriffs Office (BCSO) reporting a significant tornado just hit Cocoa Beach. One of the deputies said it's "at least an EF-2." Many businesses damaged as well as homes.
If you want to look it up on Google Maps, search 1775 N. Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach. That's the Wells Fargo that lost its roof. The tornado started at the Resorts at Cocoa Beach and moved northwest. Many homes damaged on St. Croix Ave. behind the Publix.
Good morning from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.
We're still here. Other than the Cocoa Beach tornado, I haven't heard of any significant damage in our area. The eyewall just passed through here so we're experiencing peak gusts.

Most of Tropicana Field's roof is gone. Overhead drone photos.

Frame capture from #News13 yesterday evening reporting on the Cocoa Beach tornado. Had it continued, it would have gone right over our house in north Merritt Island. As it was, we still had a strong cell pass through, just no damage for us.

I've uploaded to YouTube Spectrum #News13 coverage yesterday afternoon of Milton's local impacts. The Cocoa Beach tornado coverage started at 5:52 PM.
The link should take you directly to that point; if not, go to the 3:54:30 mark on the scrollbar.
@WordsmithFL
Good Morning 🌞
On the heels of western NC, I’m terrified for FL
@WordsmithFL Wow, stay safe!
-Your Broward Co. neighbor.
@LnzyHou Fully charged.
Take care of yourself 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Min $200 cash
@LnzyHou Yep and yep.
Thank you.
FYI, no Android Firefox support (site suggests Safari), but encourages download of their mobile app. Will try again later on laptop.
@fugitive247 Thanks for trying ... WESH-TV out of Orlando is on YouTube, should work.
Awesome. Will check it out later, thanks.
Good grief. Flooding has already begun in Satellite Beach. Looked above ankle-deep. Not sure what road. Guessing S. Patrick Drive.

Conventional wisdom for a tornado seems counterintuitive in the face of a ten foot storm surge. ☹️
@LnzyHou Shaken but not stirred.
I think our little hamlet is through the worst. Cocoa Beach had a significant tornado but we're through the worst of the rain, at least in the forecast.
Hallelujah 💙
So glad you are safe. 💫
@teengee Looks pretty good.
@WordsmithFL Obviously your warning was inadvertently released *just before* they flipped the Tornado switch.
😜
@WordsmithFL
That was probably the tornado that hit Wells Fargo.
Cocoa Beach mayor's house got hit also.
@teengee Yes, same event.
