Duong Trieu Vu panicked while running from a storm in the US, witnessing a terrifying scene in his life.

Duong Trieu Vu said that after 30 years of traveling between Vietnam and the US, and often staying in Orlando, he is very familiar with storms. Therefore, despite the media talking a lot about super storm Milton, after finishing his show last weekend, he still returned to Orlando.

It was only when local authorities and the media urged evacuation that he began to worry and told his family to evacuate. However, his brother, who is currently in Tampa Bay, could not leave the area due to severe traffic congestion, while his sister and two nephews in Orlando refused to leave their home because they thought the storm was not as strong as predicted, so he had to go alone. On the morning of October 8 (local time), Duong Trieu Vu rented a technology car to drive towards Miami, South Florida, avoiding the eye of the storm as much as possible.

After a few hours of driving, he stopped in West Palm Beach, about 300 km from the eye of the storm when it was expected to make landfall. Traveling alone to avoid the storm, he prepared enough food, water, and phone batteries for the whole family in case of power outages or water shortages. The male singer was not too worried because the forecast said that when Hurricane Milton reached his city, it would have winds of about 100 km/h, much lighter than in Orlando.

"At first, I planned to go north, but because everyone was heading that way, it caused a serious traffic jam, so I turned south and stopped in West Palm Beach. This city will still be affected by Hurricane Milton, but it will be less affected than Orlando. I have prepared all the supplies for the whole family and am trying to convince my sister and two children to come and avoid the storm with me. I still hope that my sister and children will change their minds because this is predicted to be the most destructive storm in the past 100 years," said Duong Trieu Vu. He kept a positive spirit and prayed for his family to safely overcome the storm of the century.

Singer Dang Anh Tuan - former member of F5 group - living in Tampa Bay, said he decided to take shelter at home instead of evacuating elsewhere to support his relatives when needed. He felt secure because the local government informed him that people would be evacuated to temporary shelters if necessary. In addition, the government also provided each household with 10 sandbags to cover the roof and windows. Like many others in Tampa, he also went to the supermarket to stock up on supplies since October 8. He prepared a grill, coal, firewood, flashlights and emergency equipment. The male singer packed important items, including documents, to bring with him in case of emergency. After 10 years of living in the US, this was the first time he had to deal with a storm with such a dangerous forecast level.

Hollywood stars are also worried about the historic storm. Tom Cruise was seen evacuating with his family before the storm hit because his luxury apartment is located in the eye of the storm.

Taylor Swift is in danger of canceling her concert in Miami, Florida. According to People, Taylor Swift has donated $5 million to provide additional food and resources to help people in the areas of Helene and Milton, Florida, USA.

Last night, US President Joe Biden urged Floridians to evacuate quickly, warning that the Category 5 storm could be the worst natural disaster to hit the coastal state in a century. "This is a matter of survival. There is no exaggeration," Mr. Biden said from the White House, urging those under orders to "evacuate now, immediately."

Responding to the call, millions of people have been trying to evacuate Florida in the last peaceful hours before the "storm of the century" Milton makes landfall, preparing to destroy the state's coastline. In addition, schools and businesses in the Tampa Bay area have also been closed.
