Stormen Milton intensiveres til kategori 5, men vi har også fakta og sjov - læs med!
Hurricane Milton er på alles læber i disse dage, og det er ikke uden grund. Stormen, der nu er blevet opgraderet til kategori 5, nærmer sig Florida's vestkyst med imponerende 175 mph vindstyrke. Det er som om, Milton besluttede at tage på en voldsom road trip gennem Mexicanske Golf - og vi står her med snacks og dårligt vejr.
Mens guvernør Ron DeSantis og lokale myndigheder racer mod at forberede staterne til ankomsten, er der også advarsler om livsfarlige stormfloder, som kan ramme kystbyer som Tampa og Merida. Her er det vigtigt at huske, at at være forberedt er halvdelen af kampen. Men for dem, der har den rette opbygning og afstand til vandet, kan det være den perfekte lejlighed til at finde på gale historier at fortælle i fremtiden.
Derudover har Tampa International Airport allerede suspenderet sine operationer i takt med den hastige fremrykning af stormen, hvilket kan minde en om, at man aldrig kan tage noget for givet. Pludselig kan en flyrejse til den solrige Floridas kyst forvandles til en evakuering i højeste gear. Så husk det huskereglerne, og måske pak en paraply, selvom solen skinner!
Men hvad skal vi så tage med os fra denne vilde stormhistorie? For det første, vidste du, at kategori 5 hurricanes typisk kun når en gang hvert 20. år? Så vi ønsker ikke milde registreringer i matriklen på Milton! Og for det andet, hvem skulle have troet, at venskaber kan blomstre før og under storme, når folk griber chancen for at dele deres erfaringer og hjælpe hinanden uden frygt for at miste en feribillett! Hurricane Milton er ikke kun en storm, men også et samlingspunkt for både venskab og forberedelse, mens den hvirvler hen over Golfen!
