SUMMARY: Texas law enforcement is intensifying efforts to arrest members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA) operating illegally in the state. Recent operations in San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston led to over 20 arrests, including four confirmed TDA members.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, causing an eerie scene in normally bustling Clearwater Beach as it remains a major hurricane. Connor Hansen reports from Tampa, where winds and rain intensify as landfall nears, expected in about 12 hours. Tornadoes have already been reported in South Florida. Tampa’s mayor is pleased with evacuation efforts, with around 30,000 people in shelters. Concerns persist about infrastructure after Hurricane Helen recently impacted the area, leaving debris and saturated ground, which makes flooding more likely.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is set to make a historic landfall in Florida tonight, with catastrophic storm surges expected along the coast and significant wind damage likely far from the center. The Category 4 storm, with 155 mph winds, is anticipated to strike between Tampa Bay and Fort Myers, moving just south of Orlando before exiting the Treasure Coast. While some wind shear may be affecting the hurricane, the potential for devastation remains high due to extensive rain, tornado warnings, and storm surges estimated at 10 to 20 feet. This storm could become one of the worst natural disasters in American history.

Meteorologist Dylan Federico shows live pictures of beaches that are expected to be hit hard by Milton. Landfall is predicted to occur late tonight… FOX 4 is watching as the storm moves slightly south towards Sarasota.
