(SQAUK) — As Hurricane Milton’s violent winds and torrential rains make their way toward Florida over the next 48 hours, a disturbing claim has emerged from a stranded motorist that has left many in disbelief. According to a post on social media, the driver, who was left helpless after their vehicle mysteriously would not start, was given a chilling warning by a roadside assistance worker that something about this storm is causing cars to break down.
The incident, shared by user @matttttt187 on X, formerly known as Twitter, detailed the eerie conversation between the motorist and the mechanic. While attempting to diagnose the issue, the worker reportedly confessed that the recent influx of breakdowns was unlike anything they had seen before.
Experts, however, remain skeptical of any direct link between the Category 5 storm and vehicle breakdowns, attributing the mechanical failures to bad luck. Yet, for the stranded motorist, the eerie warning raises alarming questions about the storm’s true power.
As Hurricane Milton continues to rage ahead of landfall, thousands of Florida residents remain on edge, bracing themselves not only for catastrophic winds and floods but also for the fear that their lifeline— their vehicle— may not be as reliable as they once thought. Whether this is an isolated incident or the start of something more sinister, authorities urge motorists across the state to take extra precautions before hitting the road to evacuate, as Milton’s relentless wrath shows no signs of letting up.
With power outages spreading and emergency services overwhelmed, the last place anyone wants to be is trapped on the side of the road in the heart of a hurricane, especially as mysterious mechanical failures continue to rise. For now, it seems that Hurricane Milton may not just be a weather nightmare but could also be turning Florida’s highways into its next target.
