Hurricane Milton will make landfall in Florida early this morning. Its imminent arrival terrifies and this is noticeable in the cities where absolute silence reigns and movement shines in the streets, but due to its absence. In fact, the few vehicles visible are either emergency vehicles or the last stragglers fleeing. And the authorities keep repeating it: it could be the worst hurricane in more than a century as devastating winds are expected. Currently, more than five million people are under evacuation orders.
The theft was massive, so much so that the images above these lines could correspond to the containment stage. But no, it’s Florida where sea water is already beginning to engulf the land and where its inhabitants have already left or are taking refuge as best they can. No one wants to encounter this hurricane. Those who are not in a mandatory evacuation zone are left with intrigue, even if they admit that “everything is very prepared.”
Milton already has strong winds of more than 230 kilometers per hour and intense tides on the beaches. Tornadoes even formed in parts of the southern part of the state. SO, It’s time to hold everything back to prevent it from blowing away.even if it is directly about the whole house, like the one seen in the main video of this news, which they decided to tie up with straps.
This situation forced the president of the country, Joe Biden, to call on the population to evacuate, because it is “a matter of life and death, and that is not hyperbole”. Faced with the possibility of it becoming “one of the worst storms in a hundred years in Florida,” he contacted the region’s political leaders to provide them with “whatever they ask for.” Indeed, he assured that he had offered the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, and the mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor, his personal telephone number.
In this way, the Democrat also called on airlines and other transport companies to adapt to evacuations and don’t join the wave of speculation ticket prices to leave the regions of Florida most threatened by “Milton”, as detailed by the American channel NBC.
The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, also spoke in these terms, denouncing that those affected by Hurricane “Milton” – and before that by “Helene“, another storm that hit the country a few weeks ago, “should not be the subject of price speculation.”
“Any company or individual attempting to exploit Americans during an emergency should know that the administration is monitoring the situation. allegations of fraud and price gouging and will hold accountable those who take advantage of the situation,” Harris said in a statement released by the White House.
Hurricane “Milton” formed just a few days ago in the Gulf of Mexico and in a short time moved to category fivethe highest level for this type of weather phenomena. US authorities’ forecasts indicate that the hurricane will move into category three before hitting the west coast of Florida this morning.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has indicated that “the time has come to take shelter” from extreme windsthe torrential rains and tornadoes that can occur and which, in some cases, are already recorded in certain areas of the west coast. “Unless a life-threatening situation arises, stay indoors and follow updates,” the NWS said on social media.
The most affected cities will be Sarasota, Bradenton and Tampa, which will be the ones to receive the first impact of “Milton”. Once the hurricane makes landfall, it is expected to upgrade to Category 1 and cross the entire Florida peninsula. Part of the population fled to Orlando, but it cannot be ruled out that the passage of the hurricane will also be severely felt there. Miami, to the south, or Jacksonville, to the north, It looks like they will only get storms.
