'Leave Before It's Too Late': Mass Evacuations Begun due to Hurricane Michael

The governor of Florida mobilized troops of the National Guard, and thousands of Gulf Coast residents were ordered to evacuate on Monday, two days before hurricane Michael had to go ashore, bringing life-threatening waves, winds and rains.

Hurricane Michael continues to intensify, and on the northeast coast of the Gulf of Mexico there are warnings about the storm and hurricane.

By 23 hours on Monday, Michael’s steady winds reached 90 miles per hour as he headed north at 12 miles per hour.

«У нас заканчивается время … СЕГОДНЯ нужно составить план, потому что завтра может быть слишком поздно», — написал в понедельник убернатора Флориды Рик Скотт в своем Twitter.

The National Hurricane Center reports that the hurricane is located approximately 450 miles south of Apalachicola, Florida.

Hurricane wind forces stretch 35 miles, and tropical storm winds go out about 175 miles.

A storm surge warning is valid for Ocaloosa County on the Anklote River in Florida. The hurricane warning is valid for the border of Alabama and Florida with the River Suvanni in Florida.

Earlier on Monday, Michael had steady winds at speeds up to 85 miles per hour and gained momentum when he walked around Cuba on the way to a probable collapse on Wednesday, as the strongest storm for at least ten years.

It is currently considered a hurricane of the 2 category. Michael may intensify to the 3 category, becoming the second major hurricane in the Atlantic basin this year after Florence last month, forecasters said.

The hurricane is expected to provoke coastal storm surges up to 12 feet along Florida's Pendhan and cause heavy precipitation in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Florida Governor Scott has declared a state of emergency in 35 districts along the Pieddle and Big Bend districts in Florida.

«Ураган Майкл — это огромный шторм, который может привести к полному опустошению в части нашего штата, особенно в Пэнхаэдле», — сказал Скотт.

Mandatory evacuations began in the coastal areas, where 1250 National Guard soldiers assisted this process, and more than 4000 troops were put on standby.

«КАЖДАЯ СЕМЬЯ должна быть подготовлена. Мы можем восстановить ваш дом, но мы не можем восстановить вашу жизнь», — написал Скотт.

In neighboring Alabama, Governor Key Ivey declared an emergency on Monday for the entire state in anticipation of wind damage, heavy rainfall and power outages.

In Florida, government offices, schools and universities are closed starting on Tuesday.

After hitting Florida, Michael is expected to move up the East Coast on Wednesday and Thursday, affecting Caroline, who is still recovering from Hurricane Florence last month.

Energy companies stopped almost a fifth of the oil production in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday and evacuated personnel from 10 platforms.

According to the US Energy Information Administration, 17 percent of US daily crude oil production and 5 percent of daily natural gas production is concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico.
