Just in the last hour it explosively jumped to a category 4 with 150mph top winds...will be catastrophic for northern coast of Yucatan.

The big question is where on the Left Coast of Florida will it hit, because there are differing opinions from the computer models. Anywhere from southern Big Bend/Cedar Key down to Fort Myers and Naples could be in the bulls-eye. Also, Milton may start to weaken before landfall, but that isn't certain...though whether it is a category 4 or 5 or lower, the flooding and storm surge is coming. Expect quite a few counties to impose some coastal evacuations by tomorrow.

Sending prayers and hoping it loses some strength before it strikes. The power of Ma Nature never ceases to amaze (and frighten!)
