Milton, once a powerful Category 5 hurricane and still a major hurricane, lashed Florida on Wednesday on a projected path across the state, right through Central Florida.
On Tuesday, cruise ship passengers experienced the power of Milton, with Theresa Perrin sharing video with AccuWeather.
According to AccuWeather, Perrin said the ship did not have any issues, although parts of the trip were so rocky that it “feels as if you are walking completely drunk.”
The video shows passengers on the deck of the boat, with strong winds blowing. The camera then focuses on the fiercely-churning ocean.
