Hurricane Milton, a powerful Category 3 storm, is on track to make a catastrophic landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast late Wednesday night. The storm surge from Milton is already causing flooding along the shores, and there have been reports of a tornado outbreak in the region.
As the storm approaches, conditions are rapidly deteriorating, with tropical-storm-force winds moving onshore on the west coast of Florida. The National Hurricane Center has issued numerous Tornado Warnings across Central and South Florida as the outer bands of the hurricane bring severe weather.
Residents in the affected areas are urged to take immediate precautions and heed evacuation orders. With the storm sitting just 100 miles off Florida's west coast, the window for preparation is closing rapidly.
According to the latest updates, Hurricane Milton is increasing in size as it moves closer to the coast. The storm poses a significant threat to life and property, and residents are advised to stay informed and follow guidance from local authorities.
