Florida is currently bracing itself for the arrival of Hurricane Milton, a powerful storm that has escalated into a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 180mph. Governor Ron DeSantis held a news conference to discuss the preparations being made in the state as hundreds of thousands of residents attempt to evacuate the area.
The storm poses a significant threat to Tampa, with experts warning of potentially catastrophic ocean surge flooding. As the third-largest city in Florida, residents faced gridlocked roads as they tried to escape the path of the deadly storm.
Although Hurricane Milton has since weakened to a Category 4 hurricane with winds reaching up to 150mph, the situation remains critical. Authorities are urging residents to take all necessary precautions and follow evacuation orders to ensure their safety.
The impact of Hurricane Milton on Florida is yet to be fully realized, but the state is taking no chances in its response to the looming disaster. As the storm continues to barrel towards the coast, the focus remains on protecting lives and property in the face of this dangerous natural phenomenon.
