Hurricane Milton could be worst to hit Florida in 100 years, says US President Joe Biden | BBC News


US President Joe Biden has warned people in Florida to evacuate as a "matter of life and death" ahead of category four Hurricane Milton’s landfall in the state.

Milton has weakened slightly from a category five, but is still packing ferocious winds of up to 145mph (233km/h) after brushing past the northern edge of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula.

The storm is expected to slam into the heavily populated city of Tampa Bay with full force on Wednesday night, less than two weeks after the state was hit by the devastating Hurricane Helene.

Floridians have been told to prepare for the state’s largest evacuation effort in years.
