KABUL: A storm called Milton has forced millions of people to leave their homes in Florida, America.
Speaking from the Roosevelt Room in the White House, the U.S. president said he urged Floridians to listen to state authorities.
“I directed this team to do everything you can to save lives and our communities, help our community before, during and after these extreme weather events,” Mr. Biden told reporters after being briefed by disaster response officials. “And that’s being done.”
Evacuations, the president said, are “a matter of life and death.”
The speed of this typhoon is 270 kilometers per hour.
This is the second hurricane that the U.S. has experienced in less than a month
Two weeks ago, Hurricane Helen killed at least 225 people in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, and North Carolina.
