The United States Geological Survey will deploy wave sensors at eight locations on Monday in preparation for Hurricane Milton, the department announced in a news release. They will be placed between Naples and Crystal River to measure the coastal waves caused by the storm,

Hurricane Milton churned Wednesday toward a potentially catastrophic collision along the west coast of Florida, where some residents insisted they would stay after millions were ordered to evacuate and officials warned that stragglers would face grim odds of surviving.

Tampa Bay hasn’t been in the direct path of a major hurricane in over a century, but Hurricane Milton may change that. Hurricane scientists say Tampa Bay is “the city to worry about most” due to high vulnerability to flooding from climate change.
