The “largest hurricane the Earth can produce” is set to hit Florida soon， with storms of “death threats if people don’t evacuate．”

Hurricane Milton, one of the most powerful hurricanes on record, approaches the Florida peninsula. Many residents of Tampa, Florida, have been evacuated in preparation for the arrival of Milton, a once-in-a-100-year hurricane that formed in the Gulf of Mexico, which could cause damage on a par with that of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005. Authorities have issued the strongest warning, saying, “If you do not evacuate, you will die.” According to information from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on the morning of October 8th (local time), Milton is located about 950 km southwest of Tampa, which has a population of about 400,000, and is moving northeast. It is expected to make landfall on the evening of the 9th, and at its peak, flooding in Tampa is expected to reach 4.5 metres. “Winds and rain are expected to intensify along the warning area of ​​Florida’s west coast on the 9th, with the hurricane expected to make landfall as early as the afternoon of the 9th,” the NHC said in a statement. Hillsborough County, where Tampa is located, has issued mandatory evacuation orders to people living in the highest-risk zone, Zone A, and the next highest-risk zone, Zone B. “This is a potentially life-threatening situation and residents should follow the advice of local authorities and evacuate immediately if ordered to do so,” the NHC warned. Officials and weather experts have warned of casualties among people who fail to leave evacuation zones in time. “This is literally a potentially catastrophic event. “To put it simply, if you choose to remain in the evacuation zone, you will die,” Tampa Mayor Jane Castor warned.
