Tampa Mayor Jane Castor is warning residents to listen to evacuation orders amid the looming threat of Hurricane Milton, which the National Weather Service (NWS) warns could be the worst storm to impact the Tampa area in more than a century. The city is especially susceptible to hurricane damage due to its low-lying topography. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “Everyone in the Tampa Bay region needs to stay aware of what’s happening with Hurricane Milton and you need to follow the evacuation orders,” Castor told CBS News.
