Yes, I realize that. The image I showed started at current time and went out to 8. It's a future radar. 

Well its very very wrong

I’m on my flight back to Newark.  While I am too cheap to pay for the fancy radar apps, I am not too cheap to buy in-flight WiFi to track the storm with y’all.

Flight lands scheduled to land at 9:14pm. 
 

Polling the crowd: which happens first, official landfall of Milt, or my flight lands?  
 

😁

I don' t really care if it's now or later, I'm simply passing on current information.

At 6 it was centered 50mi w/sw of Sarasota and moving at 13 mph.  13x3=49 if on a straight line, so that makes it 9 at earliest IF it were travelling direct W-E. Yet it's not travelling direct W-E so it won't be 8:30 - more like 10:30 at earliest. 

Alright gang -it's been a blast and I'm worn out tracking this for 3-4 days now and have golf league tomorrow so I'm out.

Mission 22 heading straight back in after its first pass.  Earlier pin by Mission 21 re-attached for reference.  Appears to be heading more east now, as expected.
