Hurricane Milton Approaches Florida, Concerns Rise

As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, concerns mount for families in the storm's path, with many struggling to evacuate. In Cape Coral, Neveah Rogers fears for her family's safety following a tornado that recently struck the area, compounding her worries about the hurricane's impact. In Tampa, Lacey Jackson's family watches from Iowa, anxious as she rides out the storm with friends outside the mandatory evacuation zone. Similarly, Raleigh resident John Goode is worried for his son, Derek, who plans to stay in Tampa despite the looming threat of significant flooding. Hurricane Milton, now a powerful Category 4 storm, is expected to bring 8 to 12 feet of water and has already triggered tornadoes across Florida. As communities brace for the storm's arrival, the aftermath of Hurricane Helene just weeks prior raises additional concerns about debris and power outages.
