Sarasota braced for a direct hit from Hurricane Milton, with the threat of storm surge potentially causing catastrophic damage to homes and other buildings. NBC News' Tom Llamas reports.

During Hurricane Helene, the aquarium took on 3 feet of water along the wharf, marking the first time in the aquarium’s 30 years that water breached the wharf. With a bigger storm surge forecast for Milton, aquarium officials are expecting the first floor to take on water.
