Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) predicted on Wednesday that Hurricane Milton would bring \u201ccatastrophic devastation\u201d to coastal communities in Florida but said he hoped it wouldn\u2019t bring \u201ccatastrophic loss of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steube \u2013 who represents Sarasota, Fla., about 5 miles east of where the hurricane officially made landfall \u2013 said in an interview on \u201cThe Hill\u201d on NewsNation that he hopes people listened when they were told to evacuate before the storm hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHopefully people abided the evacuation orders after what we saw in Helene,\u201d Steube said, speaking remotely through a staticky feed, which he said was powered by a generator, since the whole community lost power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you got flooded in Helene, you\u2019re going to get flooded in this storm,\u201d Steube continued. \u201cSo hopefully people abided by that, and we\u2019re not going to have catastrophic loss of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do think we\u2019re going to have catastrophic devastation on our coastal communities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steube said he is confident there is enough manpower to aid in the recovery, noting that his district alone has 400 National Guard members staged at a local high school, ready to respond. In the state of Florida, 50,000 linemen are prepared to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steube said, however, that law enforcement officials will not be able to respond until after the storm passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe manpower is great, but they cannot go out safely until this storm passes us,\u201d Steube said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s the challenge with people not abiding by these evacuation orders and thinking they can stick it out. You can\u2019t stick out a 12-15 foot storm surge if you\u2019re on the coast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo hopefully these are going to be rescue missions and not finding people that have passed because their homes got flooded,\u201d Steube said, referring to the immediate recovery efforts on Thursday. \u201cBut we definitely have the resources on the ground to be able to respond quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm made landfall at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane in Siesta Key, near Sarasota County, Fla., located approximately 5 miles west of Sarasota. The storm was expected to move across central Florida and emerge Thursday morning on the east coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
