More than a million people told to evacuate as Florida braces for Hurricane Milton

#Hurricane #Milton swept past Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula Tuesday, bringing sustained winds of nearly 155 mph (250km/h),
as the #category4 storm heads towards Florida’s dangerously exposed #Tampa Bay.

The storm’s trajectory suggested it would pass the Mexican city of #Mérida, ♦️home to 1.2 million people, in the early hours of Tuesday morning
before swerving north towards the US.
Mexican officials have been bussing people out of low-lying coastal areas.

Milton is projected to hit the south-west coast of Florida by Wednesday evening local time,
the US National Weather Service said in its latest update,
and could cause destruction in areas already reeling from Hurricane #Helene’s devastation nearly two weeks ago.

#HurricaneMilton is now at #Category3 strength. NOAA is currently forecasting it will increase in strength to #Category4 before dropping back to category 3 before landfall. Of course that could change.

⚡️ Extremely dangerous Hurricane Lidia upgraded to Category 4 storm, expected to make landfall in Mexico. Strong winds and heavy rains could trigger mudslides and severe flooding. Hurricane warning issued for Las Islas Marias and areas from Manzanillo to El Roblito. Rapid weakening expected after landfall. Lidia has potential to be one of Mexico's strongest landfalling Pacific hurricanes. #HurricaneLidia #Category4 #MexicoLandfall https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1927364/articles/194221336/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
