Hurricane Milton slams Florida

Hurricane Milton plowed into Florida as a Category 3 storm Wednesday, bringing misery to a coast still ravaged by Helene, pounding cities with winds of over 100 mph (160 kph) after producing a barrage of tornadoes, but sparing Tampa a direct hit.

Refusing to leave is not an accurate statement. My coworkers family is there and tried to leave but there wasnt enough fuel to fuel their vehicles.

What I don't understand is how are people with no money supposed to evacuate or no gas or even cars.

We in Australia are in sympathy with Florida as we in Brisbane start our cyclone, floods, storm season for several months, but thankfully we don’t get hurricanes we pray for all people in danger.
