Hurricane Milton Barrels Toward Florida
Milton, the Atlantic’s strongest hurricane this year, is set to approach the Florida peninsula as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, bearing down on a region still struggling to recover from Helene’s devastation.
Milton now tops Hurricane Beryl, which raked Texas, Mexico and the Caribbean in July, as the most powerful Atlantic storm this season. With winds this intense, Milton is capable of collapsing homes, flattening trees and triggering power outages that could last weeks to months.
