Hurricane Milton Slams America, 120 kmph Winds Ravage Florida, Triggering Chaos
Hurricane Milton, one of the most powerful storms of the 2024 Atlantic season, is currently making its way across Florida with wind speeds reaching up to 120 kmph (75 mph). Classified as a major hurricane, Milton has caused significant disruption along the coastlines, leading to widespread evacuations and emergency declarations across multiple counties. Local authorities are advising residents to remain indoors and avoid coastal areas. The storm has intensified rapidly over the past 24 hours, and it is expected to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential storm surges, especially in low-lying regions. Several cities, including Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville, have already reported flooding and power outages. Emergency services are on high alert as rescue operations are being coordinated to ensure the safety of those stranded or unable to evacuate. Governor Ron DeSantis has urged the public to follow safety guidelines and heed evacuation orders where necessary. Airports and seaports in the affected areas have temporarily suspended operations, and numerous flights have been canceled. The storm is expected to continue its path through Florida before weakening as it moves further inland.
