Hurricane Milton Closes In On Florida
SHARE

A powerful hurricane named Milton is approaching the west coast of Florida, posing a significant threat to the Tampa Bay area. Despite evacuation orders for millions of residents, some are choosing to stay behind, ignoring warnings of the potential catastrophic impact of the storm.

The Tampa Bay area, home to over 3.3 million people, is bracing for widespread destruction as Milton, a Category 5 hurricane, heads towards landfall. With maximum sustained winds of 160 mph, the National Hurricane Center predicts that Milton will remain a major hurricane upon reaching the coast.

As Milton approaches, thousands of residents are fleeing the area, causing traffic congestion on highways. However, time is running out for evacuations, and those who stay behind face grave dangers, including storm surges of up to 15 feet.

Communities in Florida are still recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread flooding and devastation. Despite the risks, some residents like Scott Joiner in Punta Gorda are choosing to ride out the storm in their homes.

Authorities have issued mandatory evacuation orders for several counties in Florida, urging residents to leave immediately. First responders may not be able to rescue those who stay behind, emphasizing the importance of heeding evacuation orders.

While some residents plan to tough it out, others like Evan Purcell on Anna Marie Island are taking precautions and leaving the area to protect themselves and their belongings. The looming threat of Milton has reignited fears for those who experienced the devastation caused by Helene.

State and local governments are taking measures to secure debris left by previous storms, fearing that loose wreckage could become dangerous projectiles in the upcoming hurricane. In Mexico, minor damage was reported in the state of Yucatan as Milton passed offshore.
