People in Florida have been told to prepare for the largest evacuation effort for years as a new hurricane heads for the Gulf Coast, which is still reeling from another historic storm.
Hurricane Milton, off the Mexican coast, could threaten lives when it reaches the state’s west coast in the middle of the week, the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) says.
It comes just 10 days after Storm Helene – the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005 – tore through the US south-east, killing at least 225 people.
Hundreds of others are still missing.
At least 14 of those deaths were in Florida, where 51 of 67 counties are now under emergency warnings as Milton approaches.

Building on the ocean for decades. Red state doesn't believe storms getting worse, there is no climate change…right? Feel bad for the animals.
Hurricanes are annoying
Maybe it's not Global Warming/Climate Change (Hurricanes & Tornados)?
Jeremiah 23
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah 25
32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
Isaiah 40
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he [The LORD God] that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Maybe it's not Global Warming/Climate Change (Flood)?
Leviticus 18
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I [The LORD God] do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land [earth] itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land [earth] spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son [Messiah/Christ Jesus] hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Romans 5
1 Therefore being justified [rendered innocent] by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Ephesians 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
God gives you the right to believe what you will, you can believe Jesus crucified is just a fairy tale, and if your right all is well, but if you wrong you're going straight to Hell.
Repentance toward God (change you mind and behavior) and faith in Jesus the Christ is America's only hope to survive.
Vote for the Lesser Evil (Trump 2024)!
In my opinion the US administration should develop some strategies to reduce the extend of damage caused by such devastating natural calamities
Typical of UK media to get their knickers in a twist about a hurricane in the USA, but largely ignore the typhoons that hit places like Japan. Florida has had as many as 9, whereas Japan is up to count 18 as of the time of writing. When will the UK pull its head out of the American backside?!
Doni says its great, everybody will have beachfront property ๐
God bless America.
Itโs time for the Deep State to stop using weather manipulation as a way to control the population.
Itโs a crime against humanity
Florida is the climate denier capital of America controlled by republicans and greedy evangelicals and consumerism
Will they make Florida People Fly a Boeing 747-400 Passenger Airplanes to New Jersey to evacuate? If that is so, That means I will get to see my Friend Ruben Gonzalez Again! and if that happens, I will be Wagging my tail so hard as I would be Very Excited to see Ruben, but at the same time, by the downside, That Hurricane is worse than Hurricane Helene, which will escalate crisis and more Devastation which it could turn the Situation into an Economic Crisis. because there is a lot of downsides of that hurricane.
Hopefully.
Republicans. Take global warming seriously now
As you guys like to say, you get what you vote for
And yet DeSantis claims no climate change. Yeah, right.
I would feel bad, but then I remembered what these โpeopleโ did to indigenous people
Guys please turn to Jesus ask him into your heart and repent of your sins…pray for everyone and animals…pray The Lord places his angels around you all and plead the blood of Jesus over you all…Praying for you all God bless..i pray The Lord weakens this hurricane PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE FOR OTHERS TO HEAR ..
5% of Earth population representing 25% of Co2 emissions are surprised (today) about the consequences of living the way they do…
(don't forget to point at china as an answer in the comments that will solve the problem)
you cannot ignore the hurricanes hitting Florida and the Trumps residence Mar a Lago being there, his blasphemy and disrespect for the lords words and bible! like many I'm praying for those affected and the future generations facing the devastation of climate change globally – countries that cannot afford to rebuild the devastation in particular. STAY SAFE
Yes man-made weather manipulation exists, but humans cannot create hurricanes or other natural disaster events by just pressing a 'button'.
Those in control can Only manipulate what it is already created. Let's no forget that The oceans have been treated as humanity garbage,for atomic experiments, Fukushima leak etc… maybe just maybe we are paying karma for all the mistreatment. Oceans are not lifeless forms but conscious forces and they pissed off. ๐๐

"Florida we are gonna fkuc you up"…..

USA trillions in debt. UK trilkions in debt lets think of a new way of taxing people to live their lives.whilst china does whatever it likes….suckers we are. All these new windfarms arent for the public its to power AI
