Milton is called the strongest storm on the planet in 2024, before making landfall there was an unexpected development. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami has just released the latest information about it.
Previously, Hurricane Milton was scheduled to make landfall in Florida (USA) with a Category 5 hurricane intensity on Wednesday morning (October 9) - and is expected to be even more terrible than Hurricane Helene - a storm that has just caused heavy damage in the region in September.
6 million residents have been warned about Typhoon Milton and many have been ordered to evacuate because the storm has a water level of up to 4.6 meters and winds of up to 281 kilometers per hour, threatening lives.
The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay said: "If the storm continues to move in its current direction, this will be the worst storm to affect the Tampa area in more than 100 years." Immediately, Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor urged residents to evacuate the city before the place was hit by what could be considered the strongest storm on the planet.
"I can say this without exaggeration: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you will die. If you want to go against Mother Nature, she's going to win, 100 percent," Castor told CNN on Monday night.
She also warned those who don't want to leave that they "may have done the same with other storms, but there has never been a storm like this."
Castor, the city's former police chief, said he had never given a warning like this before: "This is something I've never seen in my life and anyone who was born and raised in the Tampa Bay area has never seen this before."
US President Joe Biden also spoke with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to discuss preparations in Florida, response to the approaching Hurricane Milton and ongoing recovery efforts after the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.
Also on Monday (US time), NBC 6 South Florida meteorologist John Morales, when reporting on the storm's expected path, burst into tears as this "incredible storm" quickly strengthened from Category 3 to Category 5 at a terrible speed.
"It dropped by 50 millibars in 10 hours," he said before pausing and choking on tears, "I'm sorry. This is terrible. It's getting stronger in the Gulf of Mexico, where you can imagine the sea is very, very hot. You know what's driving that, I don't need to tell you â global warming, climate change, leading to this and becoming a growing threat."
Meanwhile, meteorologist Noah Bergen called Milton the fourth-strongest storm ever on this side of the world, astronomical. He said: "I don't know what words to use to describe meteorologically, in terms of the eye of the small storm and the intensity of this storm.
This is currently the 4th strongest storm ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye of the storm is small with a width of nearly 3.8 miles. This storm is approaching the mathematical limit that the Earth's atmosphere in this ocean can create."
A longtime weather forecaster also warned that Hurricane Milton would be the worst disaster Florida has ever seen. David Hartman, who works for WAPT in Mississippi, wrote on social media: "Sadly, this is becoming the worst natural disaster in modern history in Florida."
The evacuation order began at 10 a.m. on Monday, when gasoline and flights ran out as locals began fleeing. Much of the area is still recovering from Hurricane Helene, with locals fearing Milton will destroy properties badly damaged by previous storms.
Until recently, the US National Hurricane Center in Miami said that Hurricane Milton had weakened to Category 4 while on its way to Florida in the early morning of October 8 (local time).
Hurricane Milton had the strongest winds at about 249km/h, about 106km northeast of Progreso (Mexico). The U.S. National Hurricane Center said in a news release at 2 a.m. on the same day that the storm was moving east at 14 kilometers per hour and about 941 kilometers southwest of Tampa, Florida. Hurricane and high tide warnings have been issued for the Florida coast.
Currently, Hurricane Milton has been ranked as one of the 10 strongest hurricanes recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, ranking ninth, after historic hurricanes such as Katrina and Maria. Hurricane Allen in 1980 still holds the record as the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean with winds reaching 305 km/h.
Talking more about climate change, according to climate experts, as temperatures continue to rise, it also creates conditions for tropical storm systems to become stronger and more frequent. That's because the warmer the weather, the stronger the water will evaporate, and evaporation is the "fuel" of storms.
In addition, high temperatures also lead to drought conditions, causing the risk of forest fires, and flooding every time it rains heavily. And this shows that the "thunder" of the blind prophet Vanga has come true when she once said that the number of storms, floods, earthquakes, and fires will increase rapidly and cause great damage to people and property in 2024.
Mrs. Vanga once mentioned superstorm Milton, netizens shuddered when reviewing the 2024 prophecy? Tuyết Ngọc20:36:03 14/10/2024Before her death, Baba Vanga made prophecies about the year 2024, including issues related to natural disasters. And now, her predictions have gradually come true.
