U Floridi teška mašinerija pomaže u prikupljanju i odvoženju ruševina i otpada koje je iza sebe ostavila Helene. Radi se u utrci s vremenom, jer jaki vjetrovi Miltona već stižu.
Tjedan dana nakon razornog uragana Helene SAD-u se približava superoluja Milton, a vlasti strahuju da će iza njega ostati najmanje milijarda dolara štete.
Odjel domovinske sigurnosti pozvao je sve koji stanuju na projiciranom putu uragana Milton na hitnu evakuaciju. Ceste na izlasku iz Floride zakrčene su automobilima.
"Posljednja četiri dana konstantno šaljemo zastrašujuće poruke građanima. Čak i ako je vaš dom siguran, utjecaj na mentalno zdravlje može biti katastrofalan" poručio je gradonačelnik i pozvao stanovnike da budu informirani, ali da ne gledaju vijesti stalno, te da paze na svoje najbliže.
U obraćanju ranije danas, predsjednik Joe Biden upozorio je da bi Milton mogao biti najgora oluja koja je pogodila Floridu u više od 100 godina. "Pozivam sve, baš sve, koji se trenutno nalaze na putu uragana Milton da slušaju lokalne vlasti i prate uputstva. Ako ste pod naredbom za evakuaciju, morate otići sada. Sada, sada, sada. Već ste trebali otići. Radi se o pitanju života i smrti" poručio je Biden.
