Hurricane Milton rapidly strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane Monday on a path toward Florida population centers including Tampa and Orlando, threatening a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay and setting the stage for potential mass evacuations less than two weeks after a catastrophic Hurricane Helene swamped the coastline.

Officials said they are preparing for the largest evacuation since Hurricane Irma in 2017 when about 7 million Floridians left their homes.

    Anyone watching to see if Trump moves any more classified documents out of there before the storm hits?

        Only by virtue of the bathroom historically being the lowest, centermost room of a typical American home (and usually without windows that can break in a storm). If that is not the case for you, you should make a mental note of where in your house is such a place.
