Some Vietnamese celebrities living in the US update on the response to Hurricane Milton.

On his personal page, Duong Trieu Vu said that he had evacuated to a safe location to avoid Hurricane Milton. Following the evacuation order of local authorities, Duong Trieu Vu rented a car and traveled to Miami alone.

The male singer's house is located in the West Palm Beach area (Florida, USA). "Since the morning of October 8, I decided to evacuate alone to a less dangerous area. Experts assess that Hurricane Milton is the most dangerous in the past 100 years," said Duong Trieu Vu.

During the evacuation, Duong Trieu Vu cooked for himself. He said that currently, there is a ban on going out, it feels like the COVID-19 quarantine period. He has prepared extra food and necessities in case of water or power outage.

Singer Dang Anh Tuan lives in Tampa Bay, an area predicted to be in the eye of Hurricane Milton. He and other residents responded by placing sacks on their roofs and windows.

Mr. Tuan bought food and provisions to store for the next few days.

Hollywood stars are also worried about the historic storm. Tom Cruise was seen evacuating with his family before the storm hit because his luxury apartment is located in the eye of the storm.

Taylor Swift is in danger of canceling her concert in Miami, Florida. According to People, Taylor Swift has donated $5 million to provide additional food and resources to help people in the areas of Helene and Milton, Florida, USA.

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm on the evening of October 9 (local time), approaching the coast with fierce winds of 160 km/h, heavy rain and creating a series of tornadoes across the state.

The Tampa Bay area was spared Milton's direct impact as the eye of the storm did not pass over the area. After 1 night, by the morning of October 10, Hurricane Milton weakened to a Category 1 storm.

But Milton is still causing potentially life-threatening storm surge in many parts of Florida's coast, including densely populated areas like Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Fort Myers.

Heavy rains are also likely to cause flooding along rivers and lakes as Milton moves across the Florida Peninsula. About 125 homes were destroyed before the storm made landfall, most of them mobile homes for seniors.

Multiple tornadoes spawned by the storm swept across Florida, providing a dangerous warning. Videos posted to social media showed large funnel clouds over neighborhoods in Palm Beach County and elsewhere in the state. At least 20 tornadoes were confirmed in Florida as the storm made landfall.
