TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Milton is churning closer to the west coast of Florida. Some residents are insisting they will ride out the potentially catastrophic storm. The National Hurricane Center predicts Milton will make landfall late Wednesday near the Tampa Bay region. The area hasn’t seen a direct hit from a major storm in a century. Thousands have fled inland barely two weeks after Hurricane Helene swamped the Tampa area with storm surge. Tampa Mayor Jane Castor noted that up to 15 feet of storm surge forecast for her city would be deep enough to swallow an entire house.
