Florida is facing a potentially catastrophic situation as category four Hurricane Milton is forecasted to make landfall on Wednesday, just two weeks after Hurricane Helene ravaged the state, claiming at least 225 lives across six states, including Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Hurricane Milton’s Fury
Recorded winds of up to 155mph (250km/h) have been reported off Mexico’s coast as the storm hurtles towards Florida. The National Hurricane Center has described Milton as an “extremely powerful storm” posing an “extremely serious threat” to the state.
Evacuation Warnings
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued urgent evacuation orders, cautioning residents that “time is going to start running out very soon.” Hospitals are already evacuating patients in preparation for the storm’s impact.
Preparations Underway
Healthcare providers are scrambling to prepare for another severe weather event, with hospitals taking precautionary measures to ensure patient safety.
The dual blows of Hurricanes Helene and Milton have left Florida reeling, and authorities are working tirelessly to mitigate the damage.
