Hurricane Milton, categorized as a storm of a century with winds at 160mph, is projected to make landfall in Florida with devastating storm surge, risking major destruction.
With forecasts indicating Milton’s wind field could double, the impact of a 15ft storm surge threatens low-lying communities from Tampa to Sarasota, prompting mandatory evacuations.
Mayor Jane Castor emphasized the extreme danger of a 15ft surge for single-story homes, starkly stating, 'If you are in it, basically that's the coffin that you're in.'
Residents in low-lying areas were warned of the potential dangers, urged to evacuate, and those deciding to stay were told to prepare for dire self-defense measures.
