If you can see this radar it looks like an inner eye wall grew right over sarasota causing the high gusts

Not sure if its been mentioned but the rather tilted vortex is obvious if you look at keywest and miami radar. Pretty interesting to see the upper level portion of the eyewall coming ashore before the surface.

Freddy mckinneys live stream is pretty solid

Yeah, it’s also highly visible on IR as well.

Paging Larry......if Milton makes landfall around Sarasota....I must say, the EURO, AI and somewhat the UKMET (although it wast too far south fin the beginning for sure) overall*** did the best. HWRF and GFS were consistently too far NW with landfall.

Sarasota just tied their all time low pressure record at 962mb

honestly, I think it has done well enough to start paying more attention to it.

HWRF was the lowest verification throughout the event

Rapid rise of surge Naples to over 4 ft!

Radar estimated rainfall St. Pete 9”+ and still coming down very heavily. Flooding must be terrible.

This is a very dangerous situation. This is what should be on TV, or at least a point of emphasis. JMHO!
