Hurricane Milton, which is currently a Category 3 storm, is set to make landfall around Tampa, Florida late Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning.
Hurricane Milton is hurling rain, tornadoes and tropical storm-force winds at the U.S. coast as time runs out for residents to evacuate from the storm's potentially catastrophic path toward Florida.
Long-term care facilities in counties where mandatory evacuations have been issued are taking their patients elsewhere, while hospitals are largely on guard, preparing to stay open through the storm.
