As Hurricane Milton approaches the Florida coast, it has intensified to a Category 3 storm, prompting significant evacuation efforts across affected areas, including Tampa Bay. Notably, a local man known as 'Lieutenant Dan' has gone viral for refusing to evacuate his boat, despite police attempts to persuade him otherwise. Concurrently, the National Weather Service has issued 53 tornado warnings in Florida, raising concerns about severe weather conditions accompanying the hurricane. Residents are urged to prepare for immediate shelter should tornado warnings be declared, as the storm is expected to make landfall near Sarasota. The hurricane has already disrupted shipping operations, with major delays reported for FedEx and UPS services in the region. Preparations are ongoing, with authorities warning that time to evacuate is quickly running out as the storm's impact looms.
