As Hurricane Milton looms over Florida's west coast, a group of Cubans in Hialeah has chosen to face the impending storm with a sense of optimism and a beloved culinary tradition. Despite the hurricane's distance from their area, the Hialeah community has been experiencing heavy rainfall and some flooding since yesterday.
In response, they have prepared a hearty caldosa to share with family and close friends. The brief video showcasing the bubbling stew, filled with chunks of corn, meat, and root vegetables, was posted on social media by the Instagram account of YGY Marble & Granite, LLC, a renovation business based in the City that Progresses.
The owners of YGY Marble & Granite seized this opportunity to gather with loved ones, sharing meals and moments together before the hurricane's anticipated arrival in the region. This communal act highlights the resilience and unity of the Cuban community in Hialeah.
Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, is predicted to make landfall in Tampa within the coming hours. Its potentially deadly impact has sparked widespread concern throughout Florida, leading to a massive evacuation as residents flee to safer areas away from the storm's path.
