Florida se prepara para la llegada del huracán Milton

By Ninian Carter

October 7, 2024 - Florida se prepara para evacuaciones masivas mientras el huracán Milton
se aproxima al sur del estado de EUA, aún conmocionado por el pasodel huracán Helene que mató a 14 personas allí hace solo unos días.

Florida is readying for mass evacuations as Hurricane Milton, currently at Category 1 strength, bears down on the southern U.S. state.

In 2017, around 7 million people were urged to evacuate Florida as Hurricane Irma barrelled in, causing chaos and jamming freeways.

The latest storm comes just 10 days after Hurricane Helene – the deadliest U.S. mainland storm since Katrina in 2005 – left a path of destruction in the south-east, killing at least 225 people (14 of which were in Florida), with still hundreds more missing.

Forecasts suggests Milton could make landfall in the Tampa Bay area on Wednesday, and remain at hurricane strength as it moves across central Florida and on into the Atlantic Ocean.
