Hurricane Milton has already killed multiple people as authorities warn any residents left behind ‘SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW.’
The Sheriff of Florida’s St. Lucie County has said there have been ‘multiple fatalities’ due to a tornado outbreak ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Milton on Wednesday.
A Flash Flood Emergency was declared in the Tampa area from the high waters from Hurricane Milton, which made landfall as a Category 3 storm Wednesday night.
The National Weather Service has declared a Flash Flood Emergency after 10 to 14 inches of rain have fallen in the Tampa Bay area, a region of just over two million people.
The emergency in Tampa will last until at least 2:30 a.m. local time, with some nearby areas facing flash flooding until 4 a.m.
‘Between 10 and 14 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is already occurring,” the NWS said. “This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!’
Milton is the fifth hurricane to make landfall in the United States in 2024, as the Tampa Bay mayor says things are ‘going to be rough.’
The National Hurricane Center says the storm made landfall at Siesta Key, Florida, a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico near Sarasota, with maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour.
Already, over a million people in the region are without power due to the storm.
