As Hurricane Milton approaches landfall in Florida, residents are facing the threat of tornadoes as well. NBC News’ Tom Llamas reports live from Sarasota, Florida, where the storm is just hours away from making landfall.
While hurricanes are typically associated with heavy rainfall and strong winds, the formation of tornadoes during these storms can pose an additional danger to those in their path. The combination of warm, moist air from the hurricane and cooler, drier air from the surrounding areas can create the perfect conditions for tornadoes to form.
Residents in Florida are urged to take precautions and stay informed about weather updates as Hurricane Milton approaches. It is essential to have a plan in place in case of a tornado warning, including seeking shelter in a safe location away from windows and doors.
As the storm continues to intensify, it is important for residents to stay vigilant and prepared for any potential tornado activity. Stay tuned to local news outlets and follow all recommended safety guidelines to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones during this dangerous weather event.
