<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> According to the latest satellite images received by the Arab Weather Weather Center, the West Florida region is witnessing the direct effects of Hurricane Milton, which the National Hurricane Center (NHC) classified as a Category 3 hurricane, with wind speeds reaching more than 115 knots/hour. The hurricane continues to advance towards the state, and expectations indicate that the eye wall of the hurricane, which is the most powerful part, will cross land in the coming hours, increasing the risks of destruction and flooding.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Weather details according to official reports:</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> According to the National Hurricane Center, the hurricane&#39;s winds are expected to range from 213 to 220 km/h, with warnings that the speeds may increase as the hurricane continues to move inland. These speeds are sufficient to destroy weak structures and uproot trees and power lines, and heavy rainfall amounts of 300 to 500 mm are expected in some affected areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Sea levels are expected to rise as a result of the storm surge, with water levels ranging from 8-10 metres above normal. According to the latest reports from the National Weather Service, heavy rains and rapidly rising river levels are increasing the potential for severe flooding in low-lying areas at immediate risk of flooding, and mandatory evacuation warnings have been issued for residents.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Strong winds are expected to bring down power poles and trees, causing power outages, with official warnings that damage could be catastrophic in areas where the eye of the hurricane passes, with widespread destruction expected in vulnerable buildings and agricultural areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>What is the eye wall of the hurricane that will cross Florida in the coming hours?</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Arab Weather experts said that the eye wall of a hurricane is the area surrounding the center of the hurricane, and the eye wall is considered the most powerful and dangerous part of the hurricane, as it contains the fastest winds and the most powerful storms. The winds in the eye wall are the fastest and most violent compared to the rest of the parts of the hurricane.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The eye wall is also associated with heavy rainfall, which increases the likelihood of flooding and mudslides, especially in low-lying areas. Furthermore, the eye wall is responsible for generating high waves and rising sea levels, which can lead to inundation of nearby coastal areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The eyewall is located directly around the eye, a relatively calm area in the center of the hurricane where pressure is very low and winds are weak or nonexistent. In contrast to this calm, the eyewall is very turbulent. In short, the eyewall is the most powerful and violent part of the hurricane, and is responsible for most of the damage from intense winds and rain.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> God knows best.</p>
