Good to be with you. I m katy tur. Leave or die, that s the warning for hundreds of thousands across tampa and beyond this hour as hurricane milton, now a monstrous category 4, takes direct aim on florida s third largest city.

It took hurricane milton less than 24 hours to go from an 80 mile an hour storm to 100 names 80 mile an hour monster, one of the fastestgrowing hurricanes ever. And on the path that its on, it could also be the first in more than 100 years to directly hit tampa, florida, a city largely at sea level, or even a smaller storm could do serious damage and which is still cleaning up from his brush with hurricane helene, which may be why people began leaving today and why as many as 6600 ambulances today began evacuating patients from area hospital
