Sailor's warning - Milton likely to regain power in the Atlantic & turn north up the Gulf steam. East coast beware, prepare to bug out.
This seems like a realistic warning to the Atlantic coast area of Georgia, South and North Carolina.
Serious warning from a sailor, that Hurricane Milton may cross Florida and then pick up power with a temperature increase in the Atlantic, then it could turn north up the Gulf Stream and hit a bunch of east coast areas that are not prepared for this and not being warned that it might be possible. Click through to Instagram for the video, and I made a transcript below.

Transcript of a Tiktok video:
“Good morning. It's currently 6:42 Eastern Standard Time. And I'm coming to you this morning from aboard my sailboat, where I live in northeast North Carolina, with an update on hurricane Milton.
So, every morning I get up and I check weather patterns, hurricane patterns. It’s just something you do when you live aboard a boat. But I'm gonna tell you what the news isn't gonna tell you about hurricane Milton.
The water on the Gulf Coast of Florida, the closer you get to the coast of Florida, the warmer the water is. So, the wind shear that they're telling you is going to cause the storm to lose strength. It's not. The warm water along Florida's coastline is going to intensify the storm, right as it makes landfall.
Furthermore, once this storm crosses over the state of Florida, and it is introduced to the Atlantic Ocean, the water on Florida's east coast in the Atlantic is significantly warmer than that in the Gulf currently, and when it is introduced into this warmer water on the Atlantic side, it’s going to re-intensify.
And for those of you who do not know, warm water to a hurricane is like pulling into gas station with your gas lights on, it is going to give strength to this storm, a storm that is already a Cat. Five.
This storm is a huge storm. It's wide, it's big, it's strong, it's powerful. It is going to cause tremendous damage. Tremendous damage in places that are not prepared for this storm. Which is the main reason I'm making this video, because there are numerous other places that need to prepare that are going to be caught off guard because no one is telling them to prepare. This storm, once it crosses over Florida, is going to be introduced in the warmer water, which is going to make it re-intensify, and as it introduces itself to this warmer water, it is also going to be introduced into the Gulf Stream.
For those of you that don't know about the Gulf Stream, it's a warm current that flows north out of the Caribbean along the eastern seaboard of the United States, and it flows north until it meets a southerly current at about Ocracoke, North Carolina,
When this storm touches the Gulf Stream, and it's extremely warm water, it is going to make a rabbit turn north. And when it does, this storm is so big and the Gulf Stream is so close to our eastern seaboard that it is going to rip apart places like Savannah, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina, and places of my home in North Carolina.
I am actually considering taking my boat to the Chesapeake. I say considering. I'm actually making preparations to get my boat to the Chesapeake. I'm making those preparations now, and it hasn't even made landfall in Florida yet.
And the reason I'm making those preparations now, is because I am going to be right. And when this storm turns north, I'm not going to have time to go from where I am to the Chesapeake Bay, because the storm is going to come north so rapidly, it's going to catch so many people off guard that's going to destroy the eastern seaboard of our country. I pray to God that I'm wrong,
Disregard it, if you will. I’m no metereologist. I’m just a sailor.
Call it sailor's intuition. But my spirit will not let me release the idea that ‘The’ storm is coming. Let me say that again, not a storm. The Storm is coming. I would so much rather be wrong and have to deal with y'all telling me I'm wrong, and to leave it to the meteorologist and all these things. But I'm gonna tell you I don't think I am, and I would rather be wrong and make this post than be right and not have said a word.
Please, if you are in places like the eastern coast of Georgia and South Carolina and North Carolina, please prepare. Get a bag ready. And follow your gut.
Because, I mean, just a few weeks ago, no one was expecting Helene to do what she did.
So please take the aftermath of Helene when considering my message and understand that Milton has the potential to cause even more catastrophic damage than that of Helene, in places that are not prepared, because no one is talking about it. But this storm is going to go north. There's nothing in the Atlantic seaboard that is going to push this storm further east once it crosses Florida. Everything on the eastern coast of Florida is going to push the storm back inland, and northern. Please, I pray that y'all heed to this warning. Seek shelter. Seek safety. Please.

Gulf Stream
by William S. Powell, 2006
The Gulf stream is a warm current in the Atlantic Ocean that flows out of the Gulf of Mexico along the east coast of the United States and east in the North Atlantic toward Europe.
The Gulf Stream affects North Carolina's climate and economy dramatically, particularly along the coast, where it approaches Cape Hatteras and gives that part of the state a milder winter than would otherwise be the case. Winter temperatures of the surface waters there are approximately 63 degrees, while summer temperatures are about 80 degrees.
The current, passing between 30 and 50 miles off of North Carolina's coast, has a strong impact upon the economy of the state, as tourists and residents flock to the coast for scuba diving, surfing, birding, and other activities made possible by the temperate climate. Gulf Stream fishing is an especially important industry, attracting thousands of people in need of charter boats to carry them out into the stream to catch the wide variety of deep-sea fish living there.

This video shows how the flow is river like within the surrounding ocean water. Warmer water flows north near the surface, cools in northern waters and sinks to lower levels within the ocean and loops back south again as a cool deep stream.

not sure how to distinguish worst case scenario from prediction... they seem to be the same thing. Intuition trumps information any day. please look at my other comments if you want to do your own research, and not get sucked into the eye of the fear porn.
