Hurricane Milton Threatens Florida's West Coast
News summary

Hurricane Milton is making a dangerous approach towards Florida's west coast, with the Met Office predicting severe impacts including a life-threatening storm surge of up to 15 feet, extensive flooding, and damaging winds. Airlines like Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and Tui have canceled flights between the UK and Florida, as several Florida airports close in anticipation. Meteorologists are concerned about the storm's capacity to cause severe structural damage, and there have been over 50 tornado warnings across Florida due to Milton's outer rain bands. Relief efforts are being staged at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, where power and utility vehicles are prepared to respond post-landfall. Residents are advised to evacuate or seek shelter, with historic comparisons drawn to the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian two years prior. Despite some weakening, Milton remains a formidable threat as it transitions from a hurricane to a tropical storm over the Atlantic.
