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,
