Biden said – this is a matter of life and death
US President Joe Biden urged those who have been ordered to leave Florida before Hurricane Milton hits to immediately move to a safe place. Biden said it is a matter of life and death. This could be the worst storm to hit Florida in more than a century. I pray to God that this does not happen, but right now it seems so. Biden has approved emergency declarations in Florida.
