Hurricane Milton Explodes Into A Category 5

One of the fastest-growing hurricanes on record is barreling toward the United States and is expected to make landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast Wednesday night. Hurricane Milton rapidly intensified at a mind-boggling rate into a Category 5 over the record-warm Gulf of Mexico. The dangerous eye and eyewall could come ashore anywhere from Cedar Key at the north to Naples at the south – including possibly in the Tampa or Fort Myers areas.
