SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is rapidly approaching Florida, threatening deadly storm surges, strong winds, and potential tornadoes. Currently a Category 5 storm, it has prompted massive evacuations and gas shortages across the state. Residents are advised to evacuate due to fears of flooding and high winds. Local officials stress the urgency of departing as tropical storm-force winds will arrive soon. In Sarasota County, where previous storm cleanup is ongoing, concerns about debris complicate the situation. Meteorologists warn it may be the strongest hurricane to hit West Central Florida in over a century, with storm surges projected to reach 10-15 feet.

Mass evacuations are underway in Florida as Hurricane Milton moves across the Gulf Coast toward the state. CBS News correspondent Tom Hanson reports on the scene in Florida, Sarasota County Emergency Management Chief Sandra Tapfumaneyi joins CBS News to discuss preparations being made by local officials and CBS News Chicago meteorologist David Yeomans has a look at the forecast.

SUMMARY: Dr. Wafaa Alrashid, chief medical officer at Huntington Hospital, witnessed fear among Latino patients amid immigration raids in Southern California.

DeSantis stressed the importance of public safety and rule of law and applauded Florida Highway Patrol’s partnership with ICE, promising pay raises for troopers. Democratic Rep.
