Hurricane Milton is fast approaching Florida, forcing residents to make a life-changing decision: evacuate or stay. With winds reaching up to 165 mph, it's a storm no one can ignore.

Less than two weeks ago, Florida was hit by Hurricane Helene, a powerful category four storm that left widespread damage and heartbreak. Now, Milton threatens to deliver even worse devastation.

Residents, who never evacuated for previous storms, are now forced to leave for the safety of their loved ones.

The scenes across Florida are tense. Long lines stretch outside petrol stations, and highways are clogged with traffic as people scramble to escape Milton’s path.

But not everyone is leaving, many are staying. The last minute decisions are not easy. Those affected by Helene fear becoming homeless.

Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, has prepared shelters, but the scale of Milton’s impact could overwhelm even the most well-planned efforts.

Residents brace for heavy rain, flash floods, and storm surges up to 15 feet high.

President Biden’s warning is clear: “Evacuate now, now, now.”

Florida is in the grip of its largest evacuation effort in years, and the outcome of this storm could be life-changing for millions.

The terrifying reality is that hurricanes like Milton are becoming more frequent and more intense due to climate change.

As Florida’s residents fight to survive, the world watches to see if they will endure this new normal.

Stay safe everyone!
