As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida's Gulf Coast, residents are bracing for potentially record-breaking storm surge, particularly in the Tampa Bay area. Just two weeks after Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc in the region, Milton is on a collision course that could bring significant impacts.
The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings of life-threatening storm surge for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula, with the risk increasing as the storm approaches. Residents are urged to heed advice from local officials and evacuate if instructed to do so.
