Florida in the United States of America is being hit by the powerful category 4 hurricane ‘Milton’.
Strong winds with speeds of over 200 km/h have created dangerous and large tornadoes.
This is the biggest storm in the last 100 years in Florida.
Thousands of citizens have abandoned their homes and have left after warnings from the US government, but also from President Joe Biden himself, who considered the situation too dangerous to stay.
However, there are also those residents who have not left. For the latter, a chilling announcement has been made by the US authorities, asking those residents who do not leave to mark their name on their arms with a marker. This is so that they can be identified if their bodies are found dead.
“You may need to write your name on your arm so that when they find you later they know who you are,” said the Florida Attorney General.
Hurricane Milton has just begun to hit Florida in the US and the worst is expected in the coming hours, when it will leave behind great destruction.
The Tampa area in Florida is expected to be hit hardest by Hurricane Milton.
