Hurricane Milton has been upgraded back to a category five on the hurricane scale. On Tuesday, it was downgraded to a four, only to regain strength and become a five again.

The storm could become the worst to hit the state of Florida in a century, according to US President Joe Biden.

You should evacuate now, now, now. You should have already evacuated. It's a matter of life and death, and it's no exaggeration, he says at a press conference at the White House.

At the same time, Biden announced that he is canceling his planned trip to Angola and Germany this week, as he believes it's not the right time to leave the country.

Almost the entire west coast of Florida is covered by the hurricane warning for Milton.
