Hurricane Milton hurled rain, tornadoes and tropical storm-force winds at the U.S. coast Wednesday on the storm's steady, potentially catastrophic march toward Florida, where officials issued a final plea to residents to evacuate or face grim odds of survival.
The National Hurricane Center stressed that it was not certain where Milton’s center would come ashore Wednesday night because the storm's path might “wobble,” but the entire Tampa Bay region and points south were at grave risk. Tropical storm-force winds began lashing the coast Wednesday afternoon.
“This is it, folks,” said Cathie Perkins, emergency management director in Pinellas County, which sits on the peninsula that forms Tampa Bay. “Those of you who were punched during Hurricane Helene, this is going to be a knockout. You need to get out, and you need to get out now.”
Milton, which has fluctuated in intensity as it approaches Florida, was a Category 3 hurricane Wednesday afternoon. It was expected to remain a hurricane after hitting land and plowing across the state, including the heavily populated Orlando area, through Thursday.
Tampa Bay, near the top of a long stretch of coastline that could be in the bull's-eye, has not taken a direct hit from a major hurricane in more than a century.
With the storm weaker but growing in size, the surge was projected to reach as high as 12 feet (3.6 meters) in Tampa Bay and up to 13 feet (4 meters) farther south, between Sarasota and Fort Myers.
Mary Ann Fairman, 84, was among roughly 1,000 people at a shelter in West Bradenton. She stayed home during Helene but packed up blankets, snacks and toiletries and left this time.
“The Gulf is practically in our backyard,” she said.
In Pasco County, home to over half a million people in bedroom communities for Tampa and St. Petersburg, officials said shortly before noon that they were getting ready to take buses off the road.

Absolutely terrifying, but incredible footage. Stay safe Florida
This is not a new video this is from three years ago
@@IrishStar-Devil; take meds 💊 please
Who’s taking the footage ? 😂😂
@@fiumiRock i assume a drone, since it says that on the video watermark
The ocean is absolutely incredible, crazy how Helene called in her boyfriend in about two days, praying as it makes landfall! As I have cousins down in FL, they were evacuated, well, hopefully! 🙏🙏 also, thanks for a like!!!
Honestly Helen and Milton does sound like an old married couple.
Is it named after the discoverer?
I have no idea lol
I just comment basically the same thing!!! Prayers… Stay safe… God bless!!!
@@sandraspears1880 You must be talking about Helen Keller and Marshall Milton
Terrifying. Praying for you all.
The irony.... didnt your god create everything?
Your logic of praying is like being beaten up and asking for more
Flat earther
@RoughWalkers Non sensical argument. This storm was made by man, not God. So your point is mute regardless. We are still exposed to the forces that makeup our planet, neither is "God fault" its by design, and anythi g otberwise would imply we are robots. Man has freewill.
Only idiots believe the earth is flat and only idiots write disgusting posts when people are suffering! I hope you are well and safe!
Yes!!! One of many beings that are greater than us created everything… And this is their way of cleaning things up a bit… But as believers we pray or ask of that God to show some mercy!!!
@@karenkershaw6324 well that just proves it
If yoi believe in the bible and god and all things magical then you are a flat earther
I mean isnt it god that created everything ? So educate me how is praying online going to help
You have just proven that religion is a brainwashing experiment
The irony
Can't really tell if its 3ft or 30ft
It’s extremely confusing footage.
The face of that wave is prolly 50+ feet. Absolutely crazy.
Crazy!!! I love the ocean but would never want to be in that water or close to it… Greetings/prayers from NJ!!!
The thought of being near that water brings me such fear

Saildrone, what a smart idea!
Absolutely terrifying. Praying for everybody in Florida & anybody who gets hit with the after math rain!
I cannot tell how tall the waves are, def could not tell if I was seeing a 28 ft wave.
Yea that didn’t show me anything just some waves could have been two foot waves recording close to the water.
@@joenewman6494If you look
closely, waves suck you into them before they pass by. The camera or ship rose that much feet before passing over the wave, it only looks like that because of the rain
They generally try to sensationalize it measuring from peak to trough basically doubling the height. Besides who is going to call them out on it. Waves are hard to photograph and are meaningless unless you include the vessel you are on.
Waves are measured from the back. Top of break, to bottom of next wave. The face 9f the wsve is prolly 50+ feet. @@joenewman6494
9 news ramping up the fear. Pathetic.
They all should’ve evacuated
It was a drone boat in the middle of the gulf, who exactly was supposed to evacuate here?
that's looks like it could be a 2012(film) wave from the movies😥
The camera man never dies😊
Unbelievable
Only 28???
Waves in Hawaii can reach 100 feet at Jaws.
Only heard Nazaré reaching those heights
So apocalyptic looking
Good for surfing
@AlnoorGilani-u3q cowabunga
28ft wave and floridas 10ft above sea level
Wonder if lt dan can survive that one
I was literally telling my wife about him… I was thinking of him as well… I wouldn’t take my chances in a house let alone a boat… Hopefully God got him like he said… Prayers!!!
Incredible
Excuse my ignorance but is this filmed by someone who is on a boat?!
I think it's some kind of drone
haters will say its CGI
They'll also say the hurricane was created for political reasons 😂
Caused by natural phenomena of El Niño
Lord, I pray for those in Florida. May everyone take the messages to evacuate extremely seriously & seek refuge in a safer state. In Jesus name, Amen.
I wonder if it's safe to scuba dive during a hurricane
People haven’t done that yet, but they have scuba dived during a tsunami, that’s an amazing question though!❤
lovely 😊
What happens to sea life when a hurricane happens? Is it business as usual under the surface or do they leave the area altogether?
Oop, how did I make a copy of my comment? 🤨🤨🤨
Красиво!!
i strashno
❤🙏
A Bravery medal to the Camera Operator!! 😮😮😮
Wonder what the fish think about the storms?
They don’t think about it, they’re fish.
They just ride the storm
The surf through the whole thing, which you may think is funny, but Master, has a good idea, I actually have no clue, surfing through it is my idea, and Candice is who I got inspiration from, it’s pretty funny when you think about it!
You people are delusional tv watchers. This is nothing, I served in the coast guard at a rough surf station in the Columbia river near Washington/ Alaska. They average 40 foot swells every winter and 50knot winds. 😂. 28 is nothing
As a surfer. I must concore this wave
Lucky it is only 1 wave
O god
Creepy!!!
😳
😮
Yea… no… no thank you… my fear of the ocean just got 100 times worse… na. I’m out. I’ll take my CA Earthquakes
Sound?
whoosh glug glug splash
😂🤣😂🤣
