Hurricane Milton Heading For Florida
+54Hurricane Milton rapidly intensifies to category five strength
Hurricane Milton has rapidly intensified into a category five storm as it tears its way towards the US Gulf Coast, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) has said.
Ferocious winds of up to 160mph (250km/h) have been recorded as Milton heads towards Florida, where it is expected to make landfall on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, the NHC said.
Floridians have been told to prepare for the state's largest evacuation effort for years, with Governor Ron DeSantis warning that time for people to evacuate is running out very quickly.
Warnings over Hurricane Milton come just 10 days after Hurricane Helene - the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005 - pummelled through the US south-east, killing at least 225 people. Hundreds of others are still missing.

Florida is going to get a lot of wind damage, but the storm surge is going to be tremendous. I’d be packing up and moving inland. Inland will get hit with wind and rain but no storm surge.

+63Up to 15 feet… 😲 in Tampa and area...
+63Hurricane Milton is continuing to intensify, and it now ranks among the most intense Atlantic hurricanes on record with wind speeds at or above 180 mph and minimum pressure below 900 mb.
Hurricane and storm surge warnings are now posted along Florida's western Gulf Coast, where the storm will bring life-threatening storm surge, destructive winds and flooding rainfall by midweek.
"If Milton stays on its course, this will be the most powerful hurricane to hit Tampa Bay in over 100 years. No one in the area has ever experienced a hurricane this strong before," warned the National Weather Service in Tampa Bay.
If you're in an area prone to storm surge, follow the advice of local officials and evacuate if ordered to do so. This is a serious situation with the National Hurricane Center forecasting a storm surge as much as 10 to 15 feet above ground level along the western Florida Gulf Coast, including the Tampa Bay area, if the peak surge arrives at high tide.

"The only problem with troubleshooting is that sometimes trouble shoots back!"
