The threat from Hurricane Milton, the second hurricane to hit Florida in less than 15 days, also forced the Republican campaign to cancel a Latino roundtable scheduled for Tuesday morning. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the path of Hurricane Milton.» «And we are postponing the Latino Summit while communities prepare for the storm,” said Danielle Alvarez, senior advisor for Trump’s campaign, in a statement. The Latino roundtable with Hispanic leaders is also expected to be rescheduled. Milton, a hurricane that has rapidly strengthened, is now a Category 5 storm, the highest rating on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The hurricane is expected to make landfall near Tampa Bay, in Hillsborough County (on Florida’s west coast), likely on Wednesday. Milton is moving at a speed of 17 kilometers per hour (10 miles per hour). It will likely traverse most of Florida from west to east starting Wednesday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC). *WITH INFORMATION FROM THE EFE AGENCY.
