Officials warn 'if you stay you will die' while millions scramble to flee Florida as unprecedented 180mph Hurricane Milton barrels in threatening to be the worst storm in 100 years

Officials have issued a stark warning to Floridians as residents are ordered to evacuate before Hurricane Milton makes landfall on the Gulf Coast tomorrow.

Nearly the entirety of Florida's west coast is under a hurricane warning today as the storm and its 180mph winds creep towards the state, sucking energy from the Gulf of Mexico's warm water.

The system is threatening the densely populated Tampa metro area - which has a population of more than 3.3million people - with a potential direct hit tomorrow.

Mayor Jane Castor to has warned residents that if they don't evacuate, 'you are going to die'. Milton is expected to bring a possible 8- to 12-foot storm surge and widespread flooding to the area.

Evacuation orders began at 10am yesterday, with gas and flights selling out as locals began to flee. Traffic was thick on Interstate 75 heading north as crews were also seen hurrying to clear debris left by devastating Hurricane Helene just 12 days ago.

Milton was so strong overnight that experts called for it to be given unprecedented Category 6 status, however the hurricane was downgraded to a Category 4 early this morning. Forecasters warn it still poses 'an extremely serious threat to Florida'.
