Flights from Britain to Florida have been cancelled as the US state braces for what President Joe Biden warned could be the worst storm in a century. Approaching Category Five Hurricane Milton - just a fortnight after Category Four Hurricane Helene - has brought widespread disruption to the Sunshine State as officials urge residents to follow evacuation orders and airports, including Tampa International and Orlando, have temporarily closed. As this episode of The Standard podcast went live, millions of Floridians were in a race against time to evacuate before the hurricane makes landfall on Wednesday night at speeds of 155mph with 15ft-high storm surges expected. The Standard podcast is joined from Orlando by Jonathan Alingu, co-executive director of Central Florida Jobs With Justice, who explains how Floridans are preparing. In part two, Frieze art fair is back in its huge tent in Regent’s Park for the 21st year and we look at some of the highlights from this celebrated fixture in London’s cultural calendar, with The Standard’s head of culture, Nick Clark.
