Live Updates: Hurricane Milton causes tornado to hit south Florida with Tampa mayor warning single-story homes will become dangerous shelters


Tampa mayor Jane Castor issued a dire warning to residents of single-story homes who have not evacuated ahead of Hurricane Milton, stating that they could end up in a coffin if they stay. The National Weather Service has reported a tornado touching down in the Everglades area of South Florida, urging people to seek shelter. Hurricane Milton is expected to bring life-threatening storm surges, strong winds, and potential tornadoes to Florida’s west coast. A tornado watch is in effect for the region until 9pm ET. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned of the storm’s potential impact and assured residents that the state is prepared to respond. More than half of Florida’s school districts are closed and colleges are canceling classes in anticipation of the hurricane. Airports in Florida have halted flights, and tropical storm warnings have been issued as far north as Savannah, Georgia. The Florida Health Department has warned of the risk of Vibrio bacteria in floodwaters caused by the hurricane. Authorities are urging residents to evacuate if instructed to do so, as the Tampa Bay region is particularly vulnerable to storm surge flooding. As Hurricane Milton approaches, residents are advised to take precautions and stay safe during the storm.
