Hurricane Milton

Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene caused significant destruction in the Southeast, Tropical Storm Milton has quickly formed in the Gulf of Mexico and is barrelling towards Tampa, Florida where it is forecasted to land as a Category 3 Hurricane.
The majority of offshore assets are located to the north; however, this path places a cluster of holiday resorts and hotels directly in the line of hurricane-force winds, intense rainfall, and storm surges. Additionally, there are 11 cruise ships valued at $2.7 billion within the hurricane’s cone, with three currently departing to evade the storm.
