“I just don’t think I can be out of the country at this time,” Biden said at the White House on Tuesday, as nearly six million Floridians were advised to leave their homes before the arrival of Hurricane Milton.

Biden had been scheduled to depart on Thursday for a US military base in Germany to host a summit on the war in Ukraine with allied nations before travelling to Angola.

00:00But, the take-home message is if you're in this red area, you need to be in action mode.
00:11You need to be taking action to protect your house, to protect your family.
00:21Somewhere in this purple area, not everywhere, somewhere in this purple area, we are predicting
00:2610 to 15 feet of storm surge.
00:29Put that in perspective, I'm six feet tall, that's more than two of me high, and if this
00:34is realized, that is more surge than was experienced during Helene.
00:53We can't control how strong or weak this storm will be when it hits the state of Florida.
00:59We can't control the path of the storm.
01:01The only thing that we can control is the decisions that are made on an individual level
01:07to be able to protect yourself or your family.
01:10We hope to have as minimal damage as possible, but looking at how big this storm is, there's
01:15going to be significant damage in different parts of Florida, and it's not just going
01:20to be with the surge.
01:21That will be probably the worst, but this storm is going to go through the peninsula
01:25as a hurricane.
01:30We're driving our preparedness for Hurricane Milton, which could be one of the worst storms
01:35in 100 years in Florida, and continued efforts on Hurricane Helene.
01:43I directed this team to do everything you can to save lives and our communities, help
01:47our communities before, during, and after these extreme weather events, and that's being
01:53done.
02:00If they say evacuate, you probably should evacuate, because otherwise you're not going
02:06to be able to once the water starts getting up.
