STORYLINE:
Hurricane Milton remained offshore on Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula early Tuesday.
The National Hurricane Center said at 11 a.m. Tuesday that Hurricane Milton was about 520 miles (835 km) southwest of Tampa.
It had maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and was moving in an east-northeast direction at 9 mph, the hurricane center said.
Power lines, light poles and trees were knocked down near the coast, and some small thatched-roof structures were destroyed, according to Yucatan Gov. Joaquín Díaz Mena, but he did not report any deaths or injuries.
The hurricane was a Category 4 storm at late morning Tuesday, the center said.
The center said a storm surge warning has been extended southward along the East Coast of Florida to Port Canaveral.
The entire Gulf Coast of Florida is especially vulnerable to storm surge.
Forecasters warned of a possible 8- to 12-foot storm surge (2.4 to 3.6 meters) in Tampa Bay.
That’s the highest ever predicted for the location and nearly double the levels reached two weeks ago during Helene.
The storm could also bring widespread flooding.
Five to 10 inches (13 to 25 centimeters) of rain was forecast for mainland Florida and the Keys, with as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters) expected in some places.
