The time to prepare for Milton is over as Hurricane Milton churns toward Florida, where it’s expected to unleash catastrophic destruction upon landfall late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning with powerful winds, a deadly storm surge and flooding rain.
Hurricane Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record, with the National Hurricane Center warning that Milton poses a "extremely serious threat" to Florida with life-threatening impacts.
Its looking more and more likely that the monster storm will slam into the Tampa Bay area before tearing through the I-4 corridor with the potential to bring hurricane force winds and extreme flooding rain to the heavily populated Central Florida.
