Powerful Hurricane Milton hits Category 5 status on path to Florida

from USA Today

Hurricane Milton strengthened to a Category 5 powerhouse Monday, driving sustained winds of 160 mph as it rolled across the Gulf of Mexico bound for what could be a devastating crash along Florida's already storm-battered western coast sometime Wednesday.

The storm has rapidly intensified, strengthening from Category 2 to 5 in just a few hours.

    Saying it's easily over 2000, or will be, but if milton hits hard and catches/traps those millions fleeing north into those devastated lands from helene, how will they ever sort anything out.
