SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton, a Category 3 storm with winds at 120 mph, is rapidly approaching the Florida coast, creating dire conditions for residents. Officials emphasize the urgency of evacuations, as even short distances inland can significantly improve safety amid flooding risks. With lingering debris from Hurricane Helen, Milton poses additional threats, including destructive storm surges and tornadoes—at one point, there were seven active tornado watches across South Florida. As landfall is expected within hours, impacts such as heavy rains, strong winds, and tornado warnings will persist across the peninsula into the next day, necessitating continued vigilance.
