Florida in hurricane fever: Milton threatens with extreme devastation!

In the US state of Florida, the population is preparing for the next catastrophic hurricane. Hurricane “Milton” has strengthened in the Gulf of Mexico and now reaches the highest category 5, with wind speeds of up to 285 kilometers per hour. The authorities warn of an "extremely serious" threat to the state and emphasize that the storm is life -threatening. Meteorologists appreciate that “Milton” will meet land as category 3 hurricane and still remains dangerous because it is expected to increase in size and could thus endanger a wide area. Cities like Naples, Fort Myers and Tampa are particularly at risk.

The situation is tightened by the fact that Florida was only affected by Hurricane “Helene” a week and a half ago, which also caused considerable damage. This increases the tension of people and the authorities, which have often been difficult to recover from the traumas of the last storm. Mayor Jane Castor from Tampa addressed the population to get to the population as quickly as possible and pointed out that "Milton" not only brings water but also extremely strong winds. This could lead to massive floods and destruction.

increased risks and measures

The national hurricane center has announced that “Milton” has the potential to become one of the most devastating hurricanes in Florida's history. People in usually dry coastal areas have to be prepared for massive storm surges that can be up to five meters high. Airlines have already announced that they will stop air traffic to Tampa and Orlando from Tuesday.

to cope with the situation, US President Joe Biden has proclaimed the emergency for Florida, which enables the approval of federal funds to support those affected. This quick reaction shows how seriously the situation is assessed by those responsible. www.radioherne.de reports , Ellen Anderson, the director of the regional service in Tampa, is quoted as a spokeswoman who calls on the population to take all safety precautions and prepare for the worst.

The hurricane season, which started on June 1st and lasts until the end of November, brings with global warming to an increased risk of strong storms. The constant warming of the oceans ensures that extreme weather events are no longer rare. A strong hurricane like “Milton”, according to experts, could become another alarming sign of changing the climate.

The latest events underline the need for effective emergency plans and the establishment of infrastructures in order to counteract the more and more frequent natural disasters. The coordination between the authorities and the population plays a crucial role in the fact that possible damage can be minimized.

political meetings

In the middle of this catastrophe, political tensions can also be felt. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has exploited the situation to criticize bidges and vice president Kamala Harris. He claims that they do not do enough for the victims. It is unclear whether Biden will start his trip to Germany as planned, with its press spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre, indicating the ongoing developments.

Overall, Florida faces a challenging time that is not only characterized by the forces of nature, but also by political arguments. The next few days will be crucial while the sun sinks over the endangered coast of Florida and the storm approaches.
