Hurricane Milton, which rapidly formed in the Gulf of Mexico, has intensified to a powerful Category 5 storm with sustained winds reaching an astonishing 180 miles per hour. The storm has quickly escalated from a Category 1, creating widespread concern as it approaches Florida’s west coast.
In response to the looming threat, many residents have begun evacuating, with Governor Ron DeSantis taking swift action to aid the process. The governor announced that tolls across the state would be suspended, and emergency lanes would be opened to accommodate the expected surge in traffic.
Meanwhile, a political debate has emerged alongside the natural disaster. According to Politico, Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Governor DeSantis for allegedly ignoring her attempts to coordinate federal assistance for the hurricane recovery effort. “He’s playing political games at a time when lives are at risk,” Harris reportedly said.
However, when asked about the vice president’s claims, Governor DeSantis appeared puzzled: “I didn’t know she called. I’m not sure who they reached out to, but they didn’t call me.”
As Florida braces for impact, Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on Wednesday, October 9, bringing with it the potential for catastrophic damage.
