Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm, is expected to make landfall near Tampa, Florida, bringing potentially catastrophic damage including high winds and storm surges up to 15-20 feet. Millions of residents are under mandatory evacuation orders as officials warn of life-threatening conditions, with President Joe Biden and local leaders urging compliance. The region is still recovering from Hurricane Helene, and debris from that storm could exacerbate Milton's impact. Theme parks like Disney and Universal are closing in anticipation, and Flagler County is preparing shelters for residents. The National Hurricane Center has delayed the projected landfall to early Thursday morning, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance and preparation.
