The Met Office has called Hurricane Milton “dangerous and destructive” with wind speeds recorded hitting 110mph.
More than 2 million people have been plunged into darkness as the storm has caused power outages.
The US National Weather Service issued the highest level for flood warnings and the Hurricane has caused flight cancellations between the UK and Florida.
The Met Office has said Hurricane Milton could bring some remnants of bad weather to the UK next week, but not the storm itself.
Met Office tropical prediction scientist Julian Hemming said they are “concerned about the storm surge,” and Milton’s “extremely strong winds.”
He added, “And around the hurricane, and particularly to the south of the eye of the hurricane, we could get a storm surge of up to 15ft, which would cause extreme flooding along the coastal strip.”
