Hurricane Milton, a high-end Category 4 storm with 155 mph winds, is expected to intensify at landfall, possibly becoming a large, intense Category 3.
Forecasts indicate significant inland flooding risks due to expected rain totals of 5 to 18 inches, coupled with hurricane-force winds impacting areas well inland.
The National Hurricane Center warns that Hurricane Milton's wind field will double before landfall, potentially worsening surge damage and power outages across Florida.
Climate change, specifically sea level rise and global warming, has intensified Hurricane Milton, making it a more destructive threat than storms of the past.
