... does anyone know where it is to go after it leaves FL?

Hurricane Milton track as of late Sunday afternoon.

That is true... but most telephone poles don't carry telephone lines anymore. It's all fiber optic or cable now... Which if damaged, puts you back at "square one".

Most all landlines were taken out here years ago, the lines don't exist anymore.

@Wyorp Rock are your chickens okay?

Yes, they are all fine

Hi everyone we are on day 10 of no power can only get cell service a few times a day and usually I can get online for maybe 10-20mins of an evening if that sometimes not at all. Elon Musk is suppose to be sending Starlink to help.
They are still finding bodies here it is so heartbreaking people and animals.
I can't believe there can be another storm heading to Florida does anyone know where it is to go after it leaves FL?

I'm sorry your power is still off, many here have no power either. Goodness the cell access is a total nightmare. No service at all sometimes, then you may have it for a few hours...

I'm thinking of looking at Starlink, no telling when cable will be available. The lines are still in the road LOL

Are you able to get out? Have food/water/fuel? Got warm clothes?

Oh @Miss Lydia if you have radio, Kiss Country 99.9 is doing announcements, taking calls, giving out info about resources, etc. No music, I've found it's the best station to find out a few things that are going on.

@Wyorp Rock and @Miss Lydia you and your communities remain very much in our hearts and prayers. I'll see if I can find out which direction H Martin. Milton is headed after FL, I'll be back.

I can't post a map or pic, all I can find is video but basically it looks like it will be moving from west to east across the state at the Tampa Bay area and then out to sea.

Just wanted to post this update from Ryan Hall. He posted this earlier today (10/6).

Me too. My parents were born in 1928.

Mine were 1917 and 1919. And dad was an airplane mechanic in WW2 (stateside).

I have a friend in the Durham area. He had two ducks, but one disappeared. He has a lonely young drake of unknown parentage who needs a companion.

From this morning, latest track.

Thank you!

Anyone heard from @Miss Lydia she's not been on since Sunday. I hope she's o.k. (and her community too). I know communications are still down in a lot of places, but hopefully she can check in soon.
It's getting cold at night.

Praying for you!
