I was asked to make a Milton megathread, so that is what I am doing. I’m going to be somewhat busy this evening, so I don’t think I’ll be able to quickly or easily update the thread with new information, but here are some resources:

Higher resolution Naples pier feed: https://naplespanorama.org/

Live amateur storm chaser coverage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-V_YnmER0Y

WFLA News 8, St. Petersburg, FL’s live feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WXtB4zjhME

If anyone has any others to add within the next two or three hours of this posting (3:18 pm EST, Wednesday October 9), I’ll be able to add them.

Sure they left the prisoners behind, but the cops worked “around the clock” to make sure they moved their “evidence, paperwork and supplies” somewhere safe before the storm hit.

I guess they didn’t learn their lesson from when thousands of prisoners were abandoned in their cells during Katrina.

Did the authorities responsible for that go to prison themselves?

If not, then the Florida prison officials apparently did learn from it.
