Hurricane Milton, a powerful Category 3 storm, is expected to make landfall in the Tampa Bay area on Wednesday.

President Joe Biden warned that Milton could be one of the worst storms to hit Florida in a century and urged residents to leave “now, now, now.”

Hurricane Milton is approaching Florida's west coast, threatening the Tampa Bay area—home to more than 3.3 million residents—with potential widespread destruction. A major hurricane has not directly struck the region in more than a century.
