The following are the primary hazards of concern with Hurricane Milton for South Florida: * Storm Surge - Storm surge is currently ongoing across Collier and Mainland Monroe Counties. Surge values have peaked around 8 feet along the Southwest Florida coast and have since decreased. It will still take some time for water levels to continue to recede through the morning as Milton pushes away from the area. * Wind - Gusty winds will continue through this morning behind Hurricane Milton. Tropical storm force winds are still possible across Glades, Palm Beach and the local Palm Beach waters and these areas are still gusting 40-60mph this morning. Elsewhere, gusty conditions remain with gusts between 20-35mph. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * SURGE: Potential impacts from the main surge event are still unfolding across Southwest Florida . Remain well away from life-threatening surge having additional impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to buildings, with several washing away. Damage compounded by floating debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an extended period. - Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed. - Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss. - Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many small craft broken away from moorings, especially in unprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and stranded. Elsewhere across South Florida, little to no impact is anticipated. * WIND: Potential impacts from the main wind event are still unfolding across Glades and Palm Beach County. Remain well sheltered from dangerous wind having possible significant impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles. - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several fences and roadway signs blown over. - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, and access routes impassable. - Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent in areas with above ground lines. Potential impacts from the main wind event are also now unfolding across Glades and Palm Beach County. Remain well sheltered from hazardous wind having possible limited impacts.
