US superstar Taylor Swift has donated five million dollars (£3.8 million) to help victims “rebuild and recover” as hurricanes devastate the south-east region of the US. Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on the west coast of Florida late on Wednesday night, amid warnings that a life-threatening storm surge could cause “extreme flooding”, according to the Met office.
The “dangerous and destructive” storm comes in the wake of devastation caused by Hurricane Helene just weeks ago.
