Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🦃 lots to be thankful for this year. Hope everyone is spending the day with their loved ones.

UPDATE: New evening consensus model is in. For our Southwest Florida community, still recovering from Ian 2 years ago, this is crushing. Models have adjusted south again. Magenta is the most recent, Red is 12 hours ago, Orange is 24 hours ago. Small adjustments, both north or south possible, but the trend has not been our friend. Prepare for life-threatening storm surge in Southwest Florida Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. #Milton
