Milton grew into a powerful Category 5 hurricane and is expected to make landfall on Florida's west coast as a major storm this week.
It was a cat 3 when I woke up this morning. It’s escalating that fast. Please stay safe out there, y’all. I know some people can’t evacuate for various reasons, but if you can, please do. This page lists Florida shelters (including pet friendly and/or special needs) by county:
Hurricane Milton is triggering evacuations in counties along Florida's west coast. Here is a list of orders and shelter information.
Plus Pinellas and Sarasota, which didn’t have any listed up there.
I don’t know who actually needs this info this late in the game, but if you’re affected, consider writing down some shelter locations (i.e. saved offline) in case you end up needing to go to a different location than the one you planned on.
All I know is, I didn’t take tornadoes in my town seriously until I saw one, and I know I would insist that everything will be just fine. If you can evacuate and you just aren’t convinced that it’s necessary—please consider it. I hope you’re all safe out there, whatever you end up doing.
