Hurricane Milton, currently a powerful category 5 hurricane, is set to make a devastating impact on Florida either on Wednesday or Thursday. The storm is projected to strike near Tampa, posing a significant threat to the region.
The destructive nature of these storms is primarily attributed to their powerful winds. In the case of Milton, the winds are already reaching a staggering speed of 175MPH, and there is a possibility that they may intensify further. Additionally, experts are forecasting storm surges of up to 15 feet, adding to the potential devastation.
I came across a video today that really helped me understand the different category designations. Take a look at the video below:
This storm may be incredibly intimidating for both you and me, but a seasoned weatherman like John Morales handles these storms with ease, doesn’t he? Right?!?
That’s incorrect.
John Morales has been involved in the field of weather forecasting since 1984 when he began his career at the National Weather Service. He has established himself as a reliable authority on weather matters for the residents of Florida, serving as a recognized weather expert on NBC affiliate WTVJ in Miami.
Yesterday, John’s emotional report on the storm went viral as he nearly broke down.
I’m really disturbed by this reaction. I don’t have much knowledge about weather, apart from what my friend Ron Roberts has told me, which I probably didn’t pay attention to. However, John Morales is an expert in weather events, and he is visibly emotional on national television due to the seriousness of the situation. This is definitely a cause for concern.
If you want to make a real difference in the lives of those impacted by Hurricane Milton, keep Florida in your thoughts and consider donating to the Red Cross. Your contribution can provide much-needed support to the affected individuals and communities.
