Hurricanes that destroy and continue to threaten in the USA
Although this hurricane season was almost over, a rare phenomenon has occurred. Two months before the end of the season, tropical storms have grown and have been transformed into hurricanes. The other strange thing is that most of them have formed within the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, there have already been many disasters, destruction, cell service, power and water outage, hundreds of deaths (the latest figures for Helene have not yet been released, but there are more than 200 counted, and another 600 that have not yet been counted), etc. https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-helene-florida-north-carolina-georgia-09-30-24/index.html
For this type of emergency it is highly recommended to have supplies of non-perishable food, bottled water, long-range waterproof emergency flashlights in case of rain and flooding, portable, there are also solar radios with emergency flashlights to stay connected to information and news in case of a power outage, disposable gloves to keep your hands clean in case of lack of water, hand sanitizer for disinfection, and not increase diseases due to lack of hygiene and disinfection.

The different counties of Florida, in Broward, Miami, Homestead, are already offering sandbags that can be picked up for free.  https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/list-of-broward-and-miami-dade-locations-hosting-sandbag-distributions-ahead-of-hurricane-milton/

Hurricane Milton continues shocking intensification. Winds up to 175 mph. Florida impacts.

Hurricane Milton continues to strengthen over the Gulf of Mexico as it takes aim at Florida.

It is now a Category 5 hurricane with 175-mph winds, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

Here's how fast Milton has been strengthening all day Monday:

  • 7 a.m., 120-mph winds.
  • 8 a.m., 125-mph winds
  • 9:05 a.m.: 150-mph winds
  • 11 a.m.: 155-mph winds
  • 12 p.m.: 160-mph winds
  • 2 p.m.: 175-mph winds

NHC forecasters at 11 a.m. predicted Milton's sustained winds would hit 165 mph within the next 12 hours. Less than 3 hours later, winds hit 175 mph. Forecasts have been changing all day Monday as Milton undergoes rapid intensification. A Category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 157 mph.

Several areas in Florida are currently under hurricane, storm surge or tropical storm watches. Expect more to be issued. Devastating impacts are forecast for Florida, from life-threatening storm surge, flooding rain and damaging winds.

A state of emergency has been declared in Florida for 51 out of 67 counties ahead of Milton, which is taking aim at the western coast of the state. Milton is expected to make landfall Wednesday. Several counties have announced schools will be closed.

"Despite uncertainty about exactly how Milton plays out, there is high confidence that destructive surge is coming to Southwest Florida on Wednesday, with the potential for the worst surge in more than 100 years in the Tampa Bay area," said Dr. Ryan Truchelut, chief meteorologist with WeatherTiger. Truchelut is a Florida meteorologist who works with the USA TODAY Network.
