Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed the public on Wednesday, expressing readiness for the impending impact of Hurricane Milton. The governor emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that the state is bracing for a major hit as the hurricane is expected to make landfall late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Describing Hurricane Milton as a powerful category four storm with maximum sustained winds of 155mph, DeSantis highlighted the potential for it to escalate to a category five hurricane. Despite hopes for weakening before landfall, there is a high level of certainty that the storm will cause significant damage.
