SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is rapidly intensifying, now a Category 5 storm expected to make landfall in Florida late Wednesday. In preparation, Governor Abbott is sending resources to Florida and Tennessee, as communities recover from Hurricane Helen. Residents along Florida’s Gulf Coast are evacuating, filling sandbags, and securing their properties. Officials emphasize the urgency of evacuation orders due to the high risk of dangerous storm surges and power outages. Milton’s winds are currently at 180 mph and may cause severe impacts in regions like Tampa and Orlando. Meanwhile, recovery efforts continue in North Carolina following damage from Hurricane Helen.

Hurricane Milton has reached Category 5 status as it moves toward Florida. Several communities in Florida are beginning to evacuate as the powerful hurricane is expected to make landfall this week.

SUMMARY: Texas suffered a 64-45 defeat against South Carolina in the SEC women’s basketball tournament championship, primarily due to a poor second quarter where they were outscored 21-6. The Longhorns managed only three field goals in that period and shot 30% overall. Chloe Kitts led South Carolina with 15 points and nine rebounds. Despite the loss, Texas’s strong season (31-3) is expected to secure them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, bolstered by their 14 Quad 1 wins. Head coach Vic Schaefer emphasized the importance of evaluating the season as a whole, while players seek motivation from the loss as they prepare for the upcoming tournament.
