Hurricane Milton continues to strengthen as it churns through the Gulf of Mexico, now poised to reach major hurricane status. The west coast of Florida is bracing for destructive winds and a potentially life-threatening storm surge.
This comes just weeks after the state was battered by Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm that left behind catastrophic flooding and debris along an 800-kilometer path when it made landfall on September 26.
Milton's winds have increased by 68 kilometers per hour in just over half a day, with sustained winds now reaching 136 kilometers per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is rapidly intensifying and is expected to strengthen further over the next two days.
The center projected that Milton will strengthen into a major hurricane.
