Milton has rapidly intensified into a category 3 hurricane, threatening Florida with maximum sustained winds of 120mph, as preparations for potential evacuations intensify across the state.
Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized the severity of Milton's threat, stating there's no scenario without major impacts, urging Floridians to finalize their hurricane preparedness plans immediately.
This marks the first occurrence of three simultaneous hurricanes in the Atlantic after September, indicating a highly active hurricane season, as highlighted by hurricane scientist Phil Klotzbach.
With lingering damage from Hurricane Helene still present, Florida prepares for Milton, with a state of emergency covering 51 counties amid fears of further power outages and storm impacts.
