Landfall is expected late Wednesday or the early hours of Thursday when it is forecast to bring flash flooding, storm surges of up to 15 feet, and powerful winds that will tear apart homes and rip trees from their roots.

The category 4 hurricane could bring widespread destruction to Florida which has avoided direct hits for more than a century, according to the Associated Press.

Fifteen Florida counties, home to approximately seven million people, were under mandatory evacuation orders as of Wednesday morning. Officials are warning residents to take precautionary measures.

Milton is forecast to cross central Florida and dump as much as 18 inches (46 centimeters) of rain as it heads toward the Atlantic Ocean. If that path is correct then it would largely spare other states ravaged by Helene, which killed at least 230 people on its path from Florida to the Carolinas.

Hurricane Milton is churning toward Florida’s west coast. The Tampa Bay area, home to more than 3.3 million people, is facing the possibility of widespread destruction after avoiding direct hits from major hurricanes for more than a century.

Despite the danger, some people have been taking selfies at the Southernmost Point Buoy in Key West today — a tourist attraction that claims to be the southernmost point in the continental U.S. — as online viewers watch on in horror.
