Hurricane Milton devastated homes, displacing families and showing the urgent need for disaster preparedness and recovery.

A recent simulation has shown the frightening impacts Hurricane Milton may have on homes, and the results are alarming.

This hurricane is expected to hit parts of Florida on October 9. It has already raised concerns about safety and property damage.

Hurricane Milton was warned as a “disaster”

Hurricane Milton followed closely after Hurricane Helene, which was a category-five storm.

According to the U.S. Navy, a category five hurricane has winds exceeding 155 mph.

Such strong winds can cause severe damage, including the complete failure of roofs and extensive shattering of windows.

It can lead to many buildings collapsing and uprooting trees in the area.

Simulation reveals frightening impact of Hurricane Milton on people’s homes

To help people understand how dangerous Hurricane Milton could be, a simulation demonstrated the potential destruction.

The simulation illustrates how different hurricane categories affect homes.

For example, in a category one hurricane, strong winds can cause roof tiles to fly off.

As the hurricane category increases, the damage becomes worse.

By the time the storm reaches category three, the simulation shows that a door can be blown into the house, and the roof may start to flap in the wind.

When the hurricane reaches category five, the simulation reveals even more destruction.

In this scenario, strong winds completely destroy part of the roof, causing the internal walls to collapse.

The hurricane makes the homes uninhabitable, and uprooted trees litter the neighborhood.

This simulation was originally shared by The Weather Channel on YouTube about eleven years ago.

However, it has resurfaced online as Hurricane Milton approaches.

Urgent warnings as Hurricane Milton approaches

Many people are sharing the simulation on social media to warn others about the serious risks associated with this hurricane.

As the hurricane nears, officials are urging many residents in Florida to evacuate their homes.

People are sharing messages on Twitter, advising others to seek shelter or leave the area entirely.

A user warned: “Please, I’m asking my fellow Floridians to evacuate or seek shelter by this evening.”

Hurricanes, especially those classified as category three and above, are extremely serious.

A category five hurricane can cause catastrophic damage, which some people describe as “biblical.”

The comparison underscores how dangerous these storms can be, with prolonged winds and rain that can last for hours or even days.

As Hurricane Milton approaches, organizations like the American Red Cross are stepping up to assist those in need.

Donations to the Red Cross help supply food, shelter, and emotional support to victims of natural disasters.

Many people actively contribute to these efforts as communities come together during these challenging times.
