Florida Braces for Catastrophic Impact as Hurricane Milton Approaches

The Category 5 storm is set to make landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast, threatening the Tampa Bay area with unprecedented storm surges and wind speeds.

• Hurricane Milton, now a Category 5 storm, is predicted to hit Florida's Gulf Coast late Wednesday, potentially impacting areas from Cedar Key to Naples.
• The Tampa Bay area, home to over 3.3 million people, faces its first direct hurricane hit in over a century, prompting widespread evacuations.
• Officials warn of a possible 8- to 12-foot storm surge in Tampa Bay, nearly double the levels seen during Hurricane Helene just two weeks ago.
• President Biden has declared a state of emergency for Florida, with 7,000 federal personnel mobilized for one of the largest disaster responses in recent history.
• Florida's west coast is still recovering from Hurricane Helene, which killed over 230 people, heightening concerns about Milton's potential devastation.
