On Monday, October 7, it strengthened to a category 5. The wind speed reached approximately almost 145 kilometers per hour in 25 hours, the NBC NEWS publication writes about this. “Milton” is called the storm of the century Forecasters predict that “Milton” can become one of the most destructive hurricanes in west-central Florida. It can strengthen to the not yet officially existing category 6. The hurricane is said to be catastrophic and the “storm of the century” for areas in its path. The state has been hit by heavy rains since Monday, and “damaging hurricane-force winds along the west coast of Florida as it approaches the coastline” are expected on Wednesday, October 9. The full force of the storm is expected to hit the densely populated city of Tampa overnight. The city's mayor said Milton's storm surge could turn a house into a “coffin.” Meteorologists say the storm has intensified so quickly because the waters in the Gulf of Mexico are at record temperatures. Forecasters are amazed at how quickly Milton has gained momentum. This is an incredible, incredible, incredible hurricane. It's just terrifying,” hurricane specialist John Morales said.

U.S. President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in Florida and authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts. Meanwhile, local authorities have already declared evacuation as a “matter of life and death.” “Evacuate now, now, now,” Biden urged Florida residents.
