Hurricane Milton is expected to hit part of Florida, including Tampa Bay, on Wednesday evening.

It is located about 300 miles off the coast of Tampa and is moving towards the city at a speed of about 14 miles per hour.
Forecasters expect Milton to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 130 mph.
The greatest danger is the wall of water, known as a storm surge, that Milton will throw up. That could cause up to 15 feet of water to flood Tampa Bay. Residents have been warned to evacuate as the city’s airport was closed yesterday.
While many have decided not to evacuate, others have left their homes and taken to the busy streets of Florida to find shelter in safe zones, with many attempting to leave the state.
Thousands of people tried to flee the Sunshine State on Tuesday after local officials issued a grim warning overnight, advising residents to “flee or die” before Wednesday’s monster storm whips raging winds and sends walls of water inland syringe.
Drivers were seen sitting in standstill traffic as the state’s major highways remained clogged with miles-long lines of cars trying to escape the danger line. Traffic was backed up both northbound and southbound as locals sought shelter out of state and in Miami.
