Another hurricane is heading north toward Florida, the U.S., where Hurricane 'Hurlin' caused tremendous damage.

Even before the emergency restoration work was completed, another hurricane came in, warning that it could cause more than 200 trillion won in economic damage as well as casualties.

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

Milton, which developed from a tropical storm to a hurricane in one day, is heading north toward Florida.

'Milton' is expected to make landfall in Tampa Bay on Wednesday local time after growing its power to at least a Category 3.

It is shown that some predictive models develop up to the strongest grade 5.

U.S. weather officials have warned of heavy rainfall of up to 400 millimeters with winds of up to 200 kilometers per hour on the main route of "Milton."

Florida's west coast is likely to be swept back by a tidal wave following Hurricane Hurlin.

Florida has declared a state of emergency in 51 counties and ordered evacuations in dangerous areas.

Residents across the state were urged to secure a week's worth of food and water.

It also issued an executive order to remove various debris still left on the road.

There is an endless stream of cars at the place where sandbags are distributed to residents.

Disaster experts warned that economic damage could reach 200 trillion won if "Milton" penetrates densely populated areas as expected.

Hurricanes "Kirk" and "Lesley" also remain in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the first time three hurricanes have occurred simultaneously since September.

Due to the effects of climate change, the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico remains 2 to 4 degrees above average.
