Emergency Status

Monitoring Hurricane Milton

(as of Thursday, October 10, 2024, 12:30 p.m.) Hurricane Milton made landfall much earlier than anticipated and has passed through Florida as of late this morning. The tornado watch and tropical storm warning have since been lifted, but a wind advisory is in effect for our area. We may experience occasional wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour, but these are expected to subside as the day progresses.

Residents are advised to follow all necessary precautions and exercise caution when traveling throughout the area.

We are grateful that impacts to our community and Miami-Dade County were minimal, and we will keep those affected by this storm in our thoughts.
