    Weird thing that as Storm Milton bears down in fury on Glorida, there are people on twitter in the US asking that whoever is using the 'hurricane making machine' to stop it.
  • We live in Sarasota. Evacuated yesterday to Ft Lauderdale. I feel sick to my stomach if I’m honest.

    We're monitoring by the minute as we head to landfall. Stay safe anyone who's in that vicinity, I fear this is going to be very big but there is still time for it to be a lower CAT 4, fingers crossed the storm surge isn't too bad.

    @ChicagoAddick all the very best, everything crossed for you.
  • Thoughts with those in danger. Best wishes to you all.

    My best friend and her husband and toddler are in St. Pete. As of last night they weren't going to evacuate (they're sort of a ways back from the ocean so they should be okay). But it's still scary second hand. Thinking about you @ChicagoAddick

    if anyone is in Florida at the moment, hope you manage to stay safe - pictures on the news look pretty scary knowing what's coming
    Gordon Carrera reporting our there for the BBC. Did he pick the short straw......

    "We need someone to report back from Beirut, Gaza & Florida......who wants what gig then."
    Should have had Huw Edwards doing these.

    I was in a cat 5 hurricane in 2007 in Mexico. As much as mother nature amazes me it was shit scary. I've been watching this one on the live webcams on YouTube and will watch as much as possible into the evening. Best of luck to everyone in its path 🤞

    Cat 3 by the time it landed, could have been an awful lot worse had it made landfall slightly further North and as a Cat 4 or 5.

    Hope everyone is OK.

    BBC confirms it was downgraded to Cat 1 when it hit so hopefully minimal damage

    They might move on their own, as will anything else above ground level.

    Cat 3 when it made landfall, moved down to a CAT 1 as it passed through Florida.
