Hurricane Milton warning sees millions in Florida evacuate | BBC News

Millions of people in Florida are rushing to leave their homes, as Hurricane Milton races towards the state's west coast.
Milton, a category five storm, is expected to hit the Tampa area tonight, packing ferocious winds of up to 165mph (270km/h).
US President Joe Biden warned that leaving was a matter of “life and death”, as the state undertakes its largest evacuation effort in years
It comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the Gulf Coast as a category four storm, killing at least 225 people across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina.

And the inherent hatred America has had for funding mass transit like trains makes that evacuation order harder to carry out. It's all being done inefficiently by automobiles on highways. (Which also makes it a financial thing. The poorer you are the less likely you are to evacuate.)

Brit born but now in the US for nearly a third of my life I recall when I came to the states for uni in Chicago that those states were so flat that even a minor storm over Lake Michigan would flood over Lake Shore Drive and into the city. There was a huge infrastructure to deal with this. I f you ever fly over Florida basically most of the state is less than a meter above sea level. Helena add a storm / flood surge into the Tennessee Valley for F sake. When officials tell you to evacuate.. EVACUATE.

The Floridians who are staying need to see the footage of the aftermath of Cyclone Tracy. And Hurricane Katrina. Ocean twisters are nothing to laugh at.

[@robanks3895]

Please stay safe Floridians, Can't imagine what it must be like, we last had a hurricane in 1987 in England, and only trees were knocked down

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

I'm a mental health professional and I'm very interested in the gentleman from Venice Beach's relationship with denial and not trusting authority. This kind of "wont happen to me, I'm prepared" mentality is going to cost people their lives. If he's in a mandatory evac area (and I'm making an assumption here because I dont know enough to know if Venice Beach is) then imagining that his stock pile of gas and generators will be useful when he is neck deep in sudden onset storm surge flooding and his house has no roof from 160mph winds is a pretty wild kind of optimism. 😳. I hope he isnt the decision maker for any sentient beings unable to consent for themselves.

[@taveybee6106]

It appears as if he may be havingearly onset of Althiemers maybe hes thinking the storm has already passed!!!!!😢

[@plinble]

Quite concerning for the longer term. To build somewhere half as big, costs three times as much when hurricane proof? E.g. can't use regular blocks need interlocking ones like a lighthouse? More like bunker construction, and up from the surrounding ground?

[@ShadoeLandman]

The last hurricane wiped out houses that were built that way.

My message to Florida......just LEAVE!!!!. I get it. Nobody wants to leave their home behind but its not worth it as emergency service WILL NOT be able to get to you if it turns out to be a cat 5 landfall

[@JevonieMarston]

Category 5 that's crazy 😢

[@Killajmj]

how bad is this storm from 1-10?

[@garethmccartan3636]

Have you ever met a person who is six foot tall? Well double that person's hight and that's how deep the water will be along 4 or 500 miles of coastline and about a miles inward. Basically the sea moves about a mile inland and on top of that you have up to 200mph wind.

Category 5 out of 5 = 10 out of 10

Capitalist greed does have consequences, agitating the environment, supercharging these hurricanes, and they will continue to get worse; still, if it's a price USA considers worth paying, what business is it of mine!

[@user-ug8wx5er1w]

You’re blaming the weather on capitalism?! 😂

[@Storystein]

​​@@user-ug8wx5er1w Weather = short term fluctuations. Climate = the average of weather events of 30 years time. Climate change heats up the oceans. Warmer oceans = More and stronger hurricanes. This will only get much worse for the rest of our lives. Do you research. What causes climate change? How about aiming for infinite economic growth on a finite planet?
