The arrival of the hurricane Milton in Florida is scheduled for Wednesday night through Thursday. Described as “extremely dangerous” by the US National Hurricane Center, Milton arrives ten days after the destructive passage ofHelene. “The entire Florida peninsula is under either a form of surveillance or alert,” warned the governor of the state, Ron DeSantis, the day before.
Calling for evacuation, US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that Milton could be “Florida’s worst storm in a century.” “You must evacuate now, it’s a matter of life and death,” he said. Supporting the president’s claims, the Tampa mayor said that “if you choose to stay in one of the evacuation zones, you are going to die.”
