Hurricane Milton is currently a Category 5 storm heading toward central Florida, with potential to cause destructive damage. While Mar-a-Lago, owned by former President Donald Trump, is under a Tropical Storm Warning, it is expected to be spared from the worst effects of the hurricane. The property was originally owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post, who built a lavish palace in the 1920s with 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, and other luxurious amenities. Trump acquired the property in 1985 for $10 million and transformed it into a private club in 1995. As Hurricane Milton approaches, the Palm Beach area where Mar-a-Lago is located could experience a storm surge up to three feet. Officials are closely monitoring the storm’s progress, anticipating damaging winds, storm surges, and heavy rainfall in the region. Residents are urged to take precautions and stay informed about evacuation measures as the hurricane approaches landfall.
