Storm chaser Mike Boylan of Mike’s Weather Page has been chasing extreme weather since 2020, traveling to six different states.His latest chase, Hurricane Milton, hits close to his heart as he is a Florida native.Boylan told Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview, “To me, it’s sad. You get kind of numb to the idea of living here that it can’t happen. And Helene was a rude wake-up call. Maybe that really got people fired up in a weird way.”HURRICANE MILTON EVACUATIONS IN FLORIDA: WHAT TO PACK AHEAD OF THE STORMHe is currently in the Tampa Bay region, in Oldsmar, and says Hurricane Helene recently devastated the area and Milton may be worse.”I’ve got a debris pile behind me just littered with debris for miles and miles and miles. And it’s the same scene up and down to all of the Tampa Bay region. This is one story of many, of course, that’s unfolding. And it’s just it’s sad for these folks, they lost everything. Now dealing with possibly a higher storm surge,” he said.HURRICANE MILTON LEADS TO CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS BEING AIRLIFTED TO SAFETYOn Monday, Hurricane Milton strengthened from a Category 1 hurricane to a Category 5 hurricane with winds predicted to reach 180 mph, FOX Weather reported.The National Hurricane Center warns that Milton poses an “extremely serious threat” to Florida with life-threatening impacts.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyleBoylan said he’s noticing an increase in traffic on roads as people rush to evacuate the Sunshine State.”I sense a little panic, a race. Because the storms will be here tomorrow night. A lot of a lot of plywood and trucks. A lot of people [are] still evacuating, boarding up, [a] familiar sight living in Florida,” said Boylan.He said residents should listen to officials and leave zones where evacuations have been mandated.”Being a Floridian, Floridians are stubborn, some of us. Seeing now I was just up there for Helene and seeing ground zero up there, what we got here with a storm 100 miles away, the surge in our area, tens of thousands of homes are flooded right now in our Tampa Bay region.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”Now, you add to that, you take it seriously. I mean, you can’t run. Most hurricane deaths are water related. And now we’ve got a flood risk that’s inland with this rainfall. And then we got a surge it,” said Boylan.Boylan said he feels Milton “in the air,” sharing that the heat is a sign that he experienced during Hurricane Ian in 2022 and in other storms.He said the worst Hurricane he has tracked was Ian, with Beryl in Texas being the second-worst as a Category 1 storm.”Now that it’s my turf, it’s different. When I storm chase in Louisiana, there’s a one-way road, and it’s in and out. I don’t know where the heck I’m going. This is my turf. So, I’ve lived for this moment,” said Boylan.

Vice President Kamala Harris refrained from saying what “major changes” her administration would bring versus the Biden administration she is currently serving during an interview Tuesday night.Harris sat down for a friendly interview with “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, who pointed to polls showing voters want the 2024 election to be about change.   “You are a member of the present administration, but under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be, and what would stay the same?” Colbert asked.KAMALA HARRIS TELLS ‘THE VIEW’ SHE CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING SHE WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY FROM BIDEN”Sure, well I’m obviously not Joe Biden,” Harris responded.”I’ve noticed,” Colbert quipped. “So that would be one change in terms of – but also I think it’s important to say with 28 days to go, I’m not Donald Trump,” Harris said, sparking cheers from the liberal audience.”And so when we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like, were I to be elected president, it is about – frankly, I love the American people, and I believe in our country. I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people. You know, we have aspirations, we have dreams. We have incredible work ethic. And I just believe that we can create and build upon the success we’ve achieved in a way that we continue to grow opportunity and in that way, grow the strength of our nation,” Harris continued before touting her “opportunity economy” pitch and talking about her small business owner mother. ‘60 MINUTES’ ASKS HARRIS WHETHER IT WAS A ‘MISTAKE’ FOR BIDEN ADMIN TO GO SOFT ON BORDER, VP REPEATEDLY DODGESEarlier in the day on her media blitz, Harris was similarly asked on “The View”whether she would have done anything differently from the Biden presidency. “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris responded, adding “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”Critics panned the Democratic nominee’s comments, insisting they would be immediately used in a Trump ad to tie her to Biden, who was forced out as the nominee by anxious Democrats in July. Biden dropped out of the race under pressure and Harris quickly replaced him.HARRIS’ ‘WORD SALAD’ ANSWER ON ISRAEL ALLIANCE CONFOUNDS SOCIAL MEDIA USERS: ‘SOMEONE PLEASE INTERPRET’

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 80 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Trump has held six news conferences where he took questions from the media since the beginning of August, including another on Friday after meeting with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp about hurricane relief efforts.President Biden also held a news conference in the White House press briefing room on Friday, where he joked about getting back into the 2024 race.BERNIE SANDERS SAYS HARRIS DROPPING FAR-LEFT POLICIES ‘IN ORDER TO WIN THE ELECTION’Harris has stepped up her interviews in recent weeks, including doing radio hits, a solo sit-down with a Philadelphia TV station, and friendly appearances with “The View,” Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern.But as for when she’ll actually do a formal press conference as a candidate, that day may never come, at least while she’s still a candidate.Conservative Radio Libre host Jorge Bonilla feels Harris should do a press conference but said it’s almost “irrelevant” because she continues to get a pass. HARRIS DODGES QUESTION ON LOWERING PRICES BY DESCRIBING ‘MIDDLE-CLASS’ ROOTS: NEIGHBORS ‘PROUD OF THEIR LAWN’”She is highly unlikely to do a press conference because the media have enabled and encouraged her ‘plexiglass basement’ strategy, wherein she preserves the illusion of being out there while remaining wholly inaccessible to the press and therefore unaccountable,” Bonilla told Fox News Digital.In her interview in Philadelphia, her answer citing her middle-class upbringing when asked about specifics of her economic policy drew sharp criticism.BARBARA WALTERS WOULD EXPECT KAMALA HARRIS TO DO INTERVIEWS, AUTHOR SAYS: ‘PART OF THE JOB OF BEING PRESIDENT'”You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn,” she said. “And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity, and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. “So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business.”Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

Tren de Aragua is a transnational gang based in Venezuela, conducting drug and sex trafficking operations there as well as the United States. There are reportedly around 5,000 members shared between Venezuela and the United States.”Cova was arrested after a DPS Special Agent assigned to the Houston Texas Anti-Gang Center (TAG) was notified of a suspected TdA member living in the Houston area in late September,” said Texas DPS in a release. “The suspect, who was identified as Cova, was scheduled for an asylum hearing in Houston on Oct. 7.”According to investigators, Cova was discovered to be a member of Tren de Aragua after his tattoos proved to be known markings of the gang. The tattoos were of a five-point crown as well as a clock and roses along his arms.

Cova was originally wanted out of Pearland, Texas for theft and was taken into custody “without incident.”
