Dodelijke orkaan Milton stort zich op Tampa, Florida

By Ninian Carter

October 9, 2024 - Milton to make landfall on the exposed and heavily developed coastline of Tampa, Florida – striking a region that hasn’t had a direct hit from a hurricane in more than a century.

Hurricane Milton, now downgraded to a Category 4 storm, but still one of the most powerful in recent years, is set to smash into the Tampa area of Florida, late Oct 9 or early Oct 10.

Tampa, with a population of more than three million people, is under a mandatory evacuation order as forecasters warn of torrential rain, flash flooding, high winds and possible storm surges of three to over 12 feet (1-4 metres).
