Hurricane Milton rapidly strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane Monday on a path toward Florida population centers including Tampa and Orlando, threatening a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay and setting the stage for potential mass evacuations less than two weeks after a catastrophic Hurricane Helene swamped the coastline.

Officials said they are preparing for the largest evacuation since Hurricane Irma in 2017 when about 7 million Floridians left their homes.

        Only by virtue of the bathroom historically being the lowest, centermost room of a typical American home (and usually without windows that can break in a storm). If that is not the case for you, you should make a mental note of where in your house is such a place.
