If you think that first wave of dust was bad...you ain't seen nothing yet. Or you won't be seeing nothing when the second wave gets here! This special satellite product shows significant dust (yellow) that's been lofted into the atmosphere. #okwx #okmesonet

Strong tornadoes and then heavy rainfall and surge. I can’t imagine. What a mess. 🙁 Thoughts and prayers for those affected and the meteorologists working this stressful event. Here’s a radar snapshot of Milton approaching Sarasota.
