The announcement of Swift's donation came just hours before Hurricane Milton was predicted to hit the west coast of the Florida peninsula. The storm is expected to bring historic storm surges, heavy rainfall, and record-breaking flash and urban flooding, reported The Hill.
就在預測颶風Milton將襲擊佛羅里達半島西海岸幾個小時前，斯威夫特的捐款公佈。據The Hill報道，這場風暴預計將帶來歷史性的風暴潮、大雨和創紀錄的局地和城市洪水。
Feeding America has been actively involved in recovery efforts since Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic damage to Southern states less than two weeks ago. The organization has dispatched 140 truckloads of relief supplies to 11 food banks in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.
自颶風Helene不到兩週前給南部各州帶來災難性破壞以來，Feeding America一直積極參與恢復工作。該組織已向佛羅里達、北卡羅來納、南卡羅來納、喬治亞和田納西州的11家食品銀行派送了140卡車裝的救援物資。
Why It Matters: Swift's donation comes at a crucial time as Florida braces for the impact of Hurricane Milton, the second hurricane to hit the state in less than two weeks. Evacuation orders are in place for multiple Florida counties, with officials issuing dire warnings for those who choose to stay home.
爲什麼重要：正值佛羅里達正面臨第二次颶風Milton襲擊，而斯威夫特的捐款正值關鍵時刻。多個佛羅里達縣已發佈疏散命令，官員對選擇留在家中的人發出了嚴重警告。
According to analysts, sectors including insurance, regional banks, fitness centers, utilities, hospitals, and theme parks could be negatively impacted by Hurricane Milton. The storm is predicted to have a significant impact on Florida's most populous areas, including the Tampa Bay area.
根據分析師的說法，包括保險、區域銀行、健身中心、公用事業、醫院和主題公園在內的行業可能會受到颶風米爾頓的負面影響。預計這場風暴將對佛羅里達州人口最多的地區產生重大影響，包括坦帕灣地區。
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs estimates that Hurricane Milton could cause an adverse impact of $150 million to $200 million on Walt Disney World's Parks and experiences in the current quarter. This potential loss is primarily attributed to the expected drop in domestic attendance at Walt Disney World, with projections now suggesting a 6% year-over-year decline in attendance growth, compared to an earlier estimate of a 2% decline.
此外，高盛估計，颶風米爾頓可能會在本季度對迪士尼樂園及體驗產生15000萬至20000萬元的不利影響。這種潛在損失主要歸因於預計迪士尼樂園國內遊客數量下降，現在的預測顯示與早前預計2%的下降相比，出席率將出現6%的同比下降。
