According to an update on October 8 from expert John Cangialosi of the US National Hurricane Center (NHC), Hurricane Milton has the potential to become one of the most destructive storms ever recorded in the West-Central Florida region.
If Hurricane Milton is anything like Hurricane Helene, flooding, downed trees and power outages are almost certain.
Millions of Florida residents and local businesses have prepared for Hurricane Milton, which made landfall on the night of October 9 (local time), by closing stores, stocking up on supplies, evacuating from danger areas or sheltering in place.
Thousands of flights departing or arriving in Florida have been delayed or canceled. If you are planning to travel to the affected areas, stay up-to-date with the latest weather information, as Hurricane Milton could have a negative impact on travel schedules and activities. Consider postponing or canceling your trip to stay safe.
