More than five million people have been ordered to evacuate Florida's Gulf Coast as Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm, heads towards the vulnerable Tampa Bay region.
The storm is expected to bring dangerous conditions to an area that hasn't experienced a direct hit from a major hurricane in over a century, making evacuation efforts critical.
President Biden's urge for immediate evacuation reflects the severity of the situation, as the area grapples with the consequences of previous storms like Hurricane Helene.
Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed that FEMA has been responsive to Florida's needs, but the evacuation effort is compounded by the ongoing recovery from the recent flooding.
