President Biden has warned people in Florida to evacuate as a "matter of life and death" ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall in the state.
The storm is expected to slam into the heavily populated city of Tampa with on Wednesday night, less than two weeks after the state was hit by the devastating Hurricane Helene.
The largest evacuation in Florida for many years is underway, with more than a million people told to leave their homes.
Speaking at the White House, President Biden said the storm could be one of Florida’s worst in a century. “Evacuate now, now, now," he told Florida residents, vowing that the federal government would help the state "before, during and after" the hurricane arrives.
