During his press review on Wednesday, Paul Arcand takes stock of the situation in Florida surrounding the imminent arrival of the hurricane Milton.
The American National Hurricane Center (NHC) also indicated that it returned to category 5 on Tuesday at the end of the day.
US President Joe Biden stressed that it could be Florida’s worst storm in a century and called for evacuation orders to be followed, saying it was “a matter of life and death”.
Milton will hit late probably late Wednesday evening or very early Thursday […] More than five million citizens in Florida are subject to evacuation orders […] You have queues on the highways, gas stations closed due to lack of fuel, supermarkets are under siege, people put up signs, people try to protect their property, because it’s a very special hurricane. Experts say that Miltonit is an excellent symbol of climate change. This is the type of hurricane that we are likely to see in the coming years and decades.
