A pair of twisters crossed Interstate 75 in the Florida Everglades around 10 a.m. ET, moving north between Miles City and Andytown, <a href="https://x.com/accuweather/status/1844020967087145149" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> AccuWeather. Images of the tornados were posted to social media.

The National Hurricane Center <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/091456.shtml?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a late-morning advisory that tornado supercells from Milton had begun to &#8220;sweep&#8221; across the southern Florida Peninsula.

Milton has once again been downgraded to a Category 4 hurricane and is expected to drop further to Category 3 before making landfall somewhere between Tampa and Naples.
However, forecasters and local officials are warning that Milton will still be considered a &#8220;major&#8221; hurricane, <a href="https://www.weather.gov/mfl/saffirsimpson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">capable of</a> wreaking mass destruction, as its wind field grows in size.

<a href="https://www.floridadisaster.org/disaster-updates/Hurricanemilton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evacuation orders</a> have been issued to <a href="https://x.com/CNBC/status/1844034715386257509" target="_blank" rel="noopener">millions</a> of people across several counties, and <a href="https://www.floridadisaster.org/shelter-status/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shelters</a> have been opened in areas expected to get the brunt of the storm.
&#8220;Now is the time to execute your hurricane preparedness plan,&#8221; Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis <a href="https://x.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1844035780072681822" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X on Wednesday morning, adding later, &#8220;Time is running out.&#8221;

As of this morning, Hurricane Milton is still a Category 4 storm. Even if it weakens before landfall, Milton will be a major hurricane with catastrophic impacts on our state.

Hurricane Milton is capable of unleashing heavy rain, strong winds, tornadoes, storm surge, and flooding, including in places across the state not in the direct path of the storm.
Storm surge could be particularly deadly for those <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/officials-give-stark-warning-to-florida-residents-who-refuse-to-evacuate-write-names-on-bodies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisting on staying put</a>. Some locations in the Tampa Bay area and farther south could have more than 10 feet of water rushing inland.
Calculating just where landfall will happen remains a tricky exercise, as the National Hurricane Center <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCDAT4+shtml/091456.shtml?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> it was &#8220;not possible&#8221; to predict about 12 hours out as&#8221;wobbles&#8221; may happen.

After landfall, Hurricane Milton is expected to quickly move across the Florida Peninsula and head out over the Atlantic Ocean away from the United States.
Florida is bracing for Milton less than two weeks after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/remnants-of-hurricane-helene-continue-to-wreak-havoc-on-southeastern-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hurricane Helene</a> made landfall as a Category 4 storm, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/local/weather/helene-leaves-tampa-streets-under-water/2024/09/27/7ae3939c-60ce-43dc-817e-f70c1ed34fed_video.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">submerged</a> the Tampa Bay area, and caused havoc in other states.
Crews were still <a href="https://x.com/citybeautiful/status/1844036875331285341" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picking up debris</a> from Helene in places across Florida on Wednesday. People have been told to beware as debris could <a href="https://x.com/ABCNewsLive/status/1843670830556819519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">start flying around</a> with Milton approaching.
