October 7 – As of midday Monday, Milton has strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. According to the National Hurricane Center, storm surge and hurricane watches have been issued for portions of Florida.

“There is an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge from Milton for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday. Residents should follow any advice given by local officials and evacuate if told to do so,” the Storm Surge Unit at the National Hurricane Center shared on social media.

The current storm track has Milton traveling across Florida from west to east, hitting many of the same areas in the state that were affected by Hurricane Helene not even two weeks ago.
