Tampa Mayor’s Dire Hurricane Milton Warning for Those Who Don’t Evacuate
As Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm, heads toward Florida’s Gulf Coast, Tampa’s mayor went on CNN Monday with an urgent warning for those who end up staying in evacuation areas: “You are going to die.”
Jane Castor told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the storm surge—which is currently projected to be between 10 and 15 feet—would be disastrous for the low-lying area.
“My number one message, as it has been for several days now, is that you need to prepare, do whatever you need to do, and then get out of the evacuation zones, which now are evacuation zones A and B,” she said.
