Despite expectations that the storm would weaken to a category three before making landfall, it will significantly expand in size. This means that the dangerous effects of the elements will be felt over a huge area.
According to the US National Weather Service, if Milton maintains its course, it will become the most powerful hurricane to rage in Tampa Bay in the last century.
In anticipation of the destructive elements, more than 5.5 million residents of the west coast of Florida were forced to leave their homes. This is one of the largest evacuations in the history of the state. Highways in Florida are clogged, and some gas stations are running out of gas.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the state is mobilizing unprecedented resources to combat the effects of the hurricane. More than 20 search and rescue teams have been deployed in areas that could be affected by the storm. In addition, more than 43 thousand specialists have already arrived who will restore the power supply.
Also on duty are about 5,000 National Guard soldiers. According to DeSantis, this is likely the largest pre-storm mobilization of the National Guard in Florida history.
