Hurricane Milton made landfall on the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. The storm, which became an ultra-powerful Category 5 hurricane as it sat in the Gulf of Mexico, was classified as a “dangerous Category 3” by the time that it hit the state, according to the National Hurricane Center.
One of the areas that was projected to get hit especially hard was Tampa, as the metropolitan area was directly in the path of the storm.
