Canadian player Eugenie Bouchard narrowly escaped a frightening situation. While she likely didn’t foresee such an event, fate had other plans. In a social media post, Bouchard shared her concerns, offering a prayer for the locals. Her followers worldwide saw how natural calamities jeopardize people’s livelihoods and pose serious threats.

Bouchard experienced an unprecedented event in the United States. According to NBC News, Hurricane Milton intensified rapidly and moved toward the Gulf of Mexico. This storm was potentially catastrophic, identified as a Category 5 hurricane, and was expected to reach coastal Florida on Wednesday. In Florida, evacuations are underway as 15 million people are already facing flooding from the impact of Hurricane Helene, and 11 million are at risk from tornadoes tomorrow and Wednesday. Bouchard, who was also in Florida, had to make a quick exit as the storm approached.

The Canadian player shared snippets of her experience on her IG story. In the first post, she uploaded a picture inside a car, wearing a mask, as she made her way to the Florida airport. She captioned it, “escaping the storm.” In her next story, she shared a screenshot of her phone’s home screen, showing National Emergency Alerts for the storm. Her notification about her 5 pm flight was also visible. In her last IG story, she shared a photo taken from her plane seat, showing a cloudy sky with rain droplets on the plane’s window. “Stay safe everyone,” Bouchard wished.

While Bouchard’s IG story relieved her followers by confirming her safe exit from Florida, many people had already suffered and remained in danger due to the storm. According to forecasts, Hurricane Milton would reach its peak tomorrow, then weaken to Category 3 before making landfall. The government has created a special website to provide people with forecasts and other vital information. Despite this, ensuring personal safety remains a priority for everyone.

Hurricanes have been a persistent problem for Florida. Just a few days ago, Hurricane Helene caused significant flooding in Florida, Georgia, and nearby areas. During that time, Danielle Collins shared the horrors of the natural calamity.

At the end of September, Florida was struck by Hurricane Helene, which brought severe flooding and jeopardized the livelihoods of 15 million people. Florida resident, Danielle Collins shared a video on her IG story showing severe waterlogging in her area, with powerful winds whipping through the trees. “Praying for everyone affected by this awful storm,” she captioned her story following the hope that everyone remains safe in this natural disaster.

At least 22 people have died as a result of Helene, which was spreading southeastward. Mudslides in the highlands were also recorded, which exacerbated the situation. As the situation worsens, the potentially fatal flash floods have brought on somber expressions.

Coming back to Milton, Eugenie Bouchard’s IG story highlights the unexpected challenges players face. With Hurricane Milton still a concern, people are either evacuating or seeking shelter, following national protocols. It is hoped that the disaster will soon pass and Florida will return to its sunny days.
