Good evening. I'm Jeff Bennett and I'm on the Navas on the news hour tonight.

The impacts of the wind is inevitable and we have to rebuild from that but saving lives

With 26 days till the election,

former President Donald Trump tries to win over voters

And a growing number of civilians in Lebanon are displaced and in dire need of aid amid

Israel's ongoing offensive against Hezbollah. Welcome to the news hour. Hurricane Milton will make landfall in Florida overnight

potentially as a category three storm and poses a major threat to Tampa and

St. Petersburg.

Milton's outer bands have already hit the state with heavy winds, rain, and triggered

a few tornadoes.

Even from miles offshore, Hurricane Milton warned Floridians of what's to come.

The immense storm blew fierce winds across the state

and dropped heavy amounts of rain.

Earlier today, residents braced for a brutal impact boarding up buildings and

stocking up on supplies and gas. I'm scared but trying to prepare the best that I can

the moment.

And have you ever been through a hurricane before?
