09.10.2024 ⇢ The Day Hurricane Milton Approached Florida
⌨
Hurricane Milton dominated the news as it approached Florida, intensifying throughout the day. Early morning reports warned of a Category 5 storm with 175mph winds. Millions were urged to evacuate, with officials describing it as a "life or death" situation. By afternoon, tornadoes were reported in southern Florida. The storm's approach coincided with developments in the Conservative Party leadership race. James Cleverly, initially a frontrunner, was unexpectedly eliminated, leaving Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick as the final two candidates. In other news, Labour leader Keir Starmer affirmed British control over the Falklands during Prime Minister's Questions and proposed tax relief for the film industry. The Post Office CEO revealed he was instructed not to investigate the Horizon IT scandal's past.
