Key freight markets in Florida are expected to experience significant disruptions as Hurricane Milton is forecasted to hit the state's Gulf coast Wednesday night. Large cities within the storm's path are Tampa and Orlando, both in the top 25 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. As is the case before a hurricane, truckload demand has spiked as a probable function of shippers' trying to make a last-second push to get freight out of the region. However, also typical in this scenario, capacity has reportedly tightened as many carriers have turned away loads in the days leading up to the storm. Just like Hurricane Helene's impacts to Florida's Big Bend region as well as to western North Carolina, Milton threatens a similar fate to central and southern Florida's truckload market as residual damage to infrastructure and immediate demand to move emergency aid are increasingly likely in the storm's aftermath. Commerce Express Inc. will monitor the situation closely and provide relevant updates to customers as it relates to their freight needs. . . . #hurricane #milton #severeweather #trucking #truckload #FTL #LTL #logistics #logisticscompany #CommerceExpressInc

Hurricane Milton is set to hit Florida hard—again. 🌪️ After Hurricane Helene’s devastation, Florida is racing to prepare for a second natural disaster in just two weeks. Governor Ron DeSantis has called for one of the largest evacuations in years, as Hurricane Milton is expected to land as a Category 3 storm. The state is bracing for 12-foot storm surges, with the National Guard deploying 8,000 troops for relief efforts. Beyond the immediate threat, these back-to-back hurricanes are exacerbating issues in Florida’s housing market. Tampa’s housing supply has surged 58%, while demand has dropped by 10%. Sellers are slashing prices as prospective buyers are deterred by skyrocketing home and flood insurance premiums—up 400% over the last five years. The hurricane season is likely to further impact these rates, with Milton alone projected to cause $35 billion in damages. As Florida braces for another round of severe weather, both the human toll and economic effects continue to mount. Businesses and communities need to plan for and build resilience in the face of more frequent and severe extreme weather events.

From my 1440 Newsletter, news of Hurricane Helene: Helene Hits Florida Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida last night as a Category 4 storm, bringing 140 mph winds to the state's northwest coast. Over 600,000 homes and businesses have already lost power.   One of the biggest concerns for Hurricane Helene is storm surge, which analysts say could reach as high as 15 to 20 feet. Another is the storm's size; at 420 miles wide, it is among the largest storms to hit the US in recent years. As of this writing, 61 of Florida's 67 counties are under a state of emergency, with hurricane and flash flood warnings extending to parts of Georgia and North Carolina.    The last time the US was hit with a Category 4 storm was Hurricane Ian in 2022, which killed 150 people when it made landfall on a similar trajectory a few hundred miles south in Fort Myers. Almost 2,500 people were rescued by emergency crews. #Hurricane #Helene #Florida #Storm #emergency #Category4
