[Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal)]

Hi @Outages-Discussion,

Below is a report from our affiliate station, WTVJ, in Miami.  NWS just upgraded this rapidly-evolving system to a category 4.

LINK<https://www.nbcmiami.com/weather/hurricane-season/live-updates-hurricane-milton-strengthens-into-cat-3-florida-prepares-for-evacuations/3436857/> to news story.

It's going to be a direct hit to Tampa and Sarasota, and wreak havoc all the way across the state through Orlando and beyond.

My friend in Sarasota is shutting down their datacenter now and gtfo of town with his wife and kids this afternoon.  Meanwhile, his neighbor is gonna "ride it out."  SMH...

Stay safe,
Brad
