SUMMARY: The toll from Hurricane Helen has risen to at least 230 confirmed deaths, with over 170 people still missing. As Florida braces for Hurricane Milton, crews are clearing debris while residents prepare by filling sandbags and stockpiling supplies. The National Hurricane Center warns that Milton will bring life-threatening storm surge and hurricane-force winds, affecting both the West and East Coasts. Forecasts suggest Milton may strengthen to a category 3 storm upon landfall. Efforts are underway to support recovery from Hurricane Helen while preparing for Milton’s impact.

The National Hurricane Center warned Sunday that Milton is expected to become “a major hurricane late Monday” and could reach Category 3 major hurricane strength as it barrels toward Florida’s Gulf Coast.

SUMMARY: Frank Stiner and his cousin were excited to expand their ticket holdings for the new $2.2 billion Nissan Stadium but faced shocking price increases, as their $750 PSLs skyrocketed to $10,000 each.
