Possible Impact Of Milton
As seen before, hurricanes transforming to Category 3 and above have the potential to cause severe damages and are a danger to human life. Just like Hurricane Helene, Milton is also anticipated to bring in strong storms, flashfloods and deadly tornadoes.
According to a AccuWeather meteorologist, Bob Smerbeck, who stated that the incoming hurricane could be as strong as 120 mph to 140 mph therefore signaling destruction.
Preparations For Milton
Although there have been no precautions taken yet against the incoming storm, Florida residents have been warned to take appropriate measures to combat another hurricane after Helene.
People are now yet to accept the destruction done by Helene, but another storm is about to come.
The tropical storm Milton is highly expected to cause severe damages to property and people.
Based on the statements by AccuWeather, Florida residents need to prepare for the upcoming danger. The storm is highly going to affect cities lying near the coast like Tampa and Fort Myers.
Ultimately, from weather forecasters and National Hurricane Center, Florida residents are requested to be highly prepared for the incoming damage.
