Aquarium animals relocated as Florida prepares for Hurricane Milton

Following Hurricane Milton's Category 5 classification, the authorities in Florida have issued evacuation orders in 11 counties, resulting in traffic jams and fuel shortages.

The US National Hurricane Center warned of a destructive storm surge along the state's west-central coast.

While Florida continues to recover from the destruction brought by Hurricane Helene, preparations are underway for Hurricane Milton. The Florida Aquarium has relocated its animals to ensure their safety ahead of the storm as part of the precautionary measures.
