Category 5 storm Milton set to hit Florida in wake of deadly Helene

Hurricane Milton rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday, heading toward Florida with winds up to 233 km/h and a potential storm surge of 4.6 meters in Tampa Bay. Evacuations and long gas lines were reported as the storm threatens to bring severe damage. Forecasts predict Milton will weaken to a Category 3 by the time it hits Florida’s west coast on Wednesday, impacting major cities like Tampa and Orlando. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned that the storm’s effects will be devastating regardless of weakening, with warnings indicating potential widespread destruction and uninhabitable areas. Residents are urged to prepare for the storm’s arrival.
