Hurricane Milton increased to a Category 4 storm on Monday as it barreled toward an already-battered Florida. Here’s the latest information on the storm.
Milton increased to a Category 4 hurricane Monday morning as it barreled toward an already-battered Florida, prompting the state to prepare for what could be its biggest evacuation in seven years. According to the National Hurricane Center, maximum sustained winds within Milton could increase to 155 mph, which is only 2 mph shy of Category 5 strength.
Ron DeSantis on Sunday said that while it remains to be seen where Milton will strike, it’s clear the state is going to be hit hard."I don’t think there’s any scenario where we don’t have major impacts at this point," DeSantis said."You have time to prepare — all day today, all day Monday, probably all day Tuesday to be sure your hurricane preparedness plan is in place," he added.
