Florida’s worst nightmare unfolds…

Digital Desk: Hurricane Milton created havoc that has wrecked
people’s lives in Florida, US.  More than   people’s lives in Florida, US.  More than  a dozen people died and millions were in paths of destruction through Florida. The storm was expected to make landfall near Tampa Bay, threatening more destruction of homes and structures with potential destruction. The state is anticipating more causality in the near future.

The authorities have ordered an evacuation of residents to leave enclaves and coastal regions, however, despite warnings about the danger they could face, they did not leave the area. Over 1.3 million people were threatened, and the National Hurricane Center said Milton could be one of the most deadly storms in decades.

The location of Milton was approximately 485 km southwest of Tampa, and it was moving in the northeast direction with a velocity of 22 km/h. The storm was very dangerous and occurred at the hurricane’s maximum sustained with wind speed of 260 km/h. As the impacts of the storm were felt and the rain grew heavier in some areas of southern and west-central Florida, it is said to shift further northeast by tonight.

Hurricanes are a type of tropical that forms in the North Atlantic. It usually brings strong winds and heavy rain. The warm ocean air rises and then cools down, which causes clouds. Sometimes, the rising air can move away at the top of a hurricane, quickly causing the surface to fall. The falling pressure causes the winds to accelerate with more air than getting pulled in as the hurricane strengthens.

Besides the wind, the storm was expected to bring between 6 and 12 inches of rain to some of Florida’s Gulf Coast sections. People are warned to prepare for the worst.
