Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm with 160 mph winds, is expected to make landfall in Florida's Gulf coast late Wednesday or early Thursday. Forecasts predict a catastrophic 15-foot storm surge in Tampa Bay and widespread wind damage, flooding, and tornadoes across Florida, including Fort Myers, Orlando, and Daytona Beach. U.S. President Joe Biden urged residents to "evacuate now." As Florida prepares, NOAA shared footage of the storm from their specialist plane. Scientists link global warming to the increasing intensity of such storms.
