Hurricane Milton, a powerful Category 3 storm, prepares to hit Florida

ai generated text

A powerful hurricane, Milton, is expected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday night, with 5.9 million people in the Tampa area under mandatory evacuation orders. This is the first time in over a century that Tampa is expected to be hit directly by a major hurricane. Milton, initially a Category 4 or 5 storm, has been downgraded to a Category 3 due to vertical wind shear over the Gulf of Mexico, with sustained winds of 120 mph. Emergency management officials have warned residents to flee, stating "this is going to be a knockout" and that those who do not evacuate will face "grim odds of survival".

    1. The northern eyewall of Hurricane Milton is beginning to move onshore of the Florida gulf coast near Tampa and Saint Petersburg where an extreme wind warning is now in effect.

    1. My message is simple. We're approaching that 11th hour. If you need to get someplace safe for whatever reason, the time to do so is now.

    1. The track of Hurricane Milton continues to be a worst-case scenario for the Tampa Bay region southward to Charlotte.
    2. Tornado crossing I-75 as we speak! Seek shelter NOW!

    1. I gave them my personal phone number here at the White House so they can contact me with anything necessary.
    2. Now the claims are getting even more bizarre. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather. It's nonsense. It has to stop. There are no red or blue states at this point. No one should make the American people question whether, if disaster strikes, we will be there for you. We are.

    1. Category 5 and Category 4 are almost equivalent, in terms of the damage they make.
    2. I also urge folks to know there are dedicated Fema (Federal Emergency Management Agency) people on the ground to help you, and follow up.
    3. Those evacuating before Hurricane Milton or recovering from Hurricane Helene should not be subject to illegal price gouging or fraud — at the pump, airport or hotel counter.
    4. The last thing they deserve is to have a so-called leader making them more concerned than they already are.
    5. Fema absolutely has the resources it needs now to deal with the hurricane as it hits, and in its aftermath. And we want Congress to do its job and grant more money.

    1. Everybody in Tampa Bay should assume we are going to be ground zero.

    1. I think this is one of the biggest we've ever seen, when it makes landfall. I think we're going to have a lot of impacts, and people that need our help.

    1. If you choose to stay, make sure you have a life preserver handy.
