On Wednesday, Hurricane Milton hit the U.S. coast with tornadoes and heavy rain. The storm is moving steadily towards Florida with potentially catastrophic consequences. Authorities in Florida issued a final call for evacuation to residents. Those who stay behind face a serious threat to their survival. The National Hurricane Center stressed uncertainty about where Milton’s eye would make landfall. The storm’s path may shift, putting the entire Tampa Bay area and points south at risk. By noon, tropical storm-force winds were blowing directly off the coast. The National Hurricane Center confirmed that tropical storm winds hit the coastline by Wednesday afternoon. Milton, fluctuating in intensity as it approached Florida, became a strong Category 4 hurricane by midday. It is expected to remain a hurricane even after landfall as it moves across Florida. The storm will pass through the state, including the densely populated Orlando area, by Thursday. Storm surges are forecasted to reach 12 feet in the Tampa Bay area. The surge could also reach up to 12 feet in areas south, from Sarasota to Fort Myers. In Pasco County, home to more than half a million people, authorities began preparations to clear buses from the roads. Strong winds and rain started impacting southern Florida on Wednesday morning. Conditions across the state continue to worsen as the day progresses. Between six and 12 inches of rain are expected to fall in many areas. In certain locations, rainfall could reach up to 18 inches. This heavy rain brings a significant risk of catastrophic flooding. Tornadoes have already been reported in some areas of southern Florida. The storm poses a severe threat to both coastal and inland areas of the state. Evacuation orders have been issued for numerous counties in Florida. Shelters are being opened across the state to accommodate evacuees.
