As Florida embraces being hit by Hurricane Milton, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor has a strong warning for locals. During an appearance on CNN, Mayor Castor told residents of her city that “you are going to die” if they attempt to ride out the massive storm.

With Hurricane Milton expected to expand in size while it approaches Florida’s Gulf Coast, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said Tuesday that the “incredible” amount of traffic leaving the Tampa Bay area shows that Hurricane Helene was a true “wake-up call” for the entire region.
