Less than one day after Hurricane Helene devastated several states in the Southern U.S., the Atlantic is already gearing up for a new storm.

There’s a super fuel that transformed Helene, and now Milton, into monsters: the hot ocean. As Milton barrels toward Florida’s Gulf Coast, residents are bracing for what will likely be one of the worst storms on record,

Hurricane Milton is one of the Atlantic Basin’s strongest storms on record and the frenzy of evacuations in Florida, where it’s expected to make landfall Wednesday evening, has led to shortages at nearly 16% of the gasoline stations in Florida,

As Hurricane Milton reached peak winds of 175 mph on Monday, it placed itself among some of the most powerful hurricanes recorded in the Atlantic.

Hurricane Milton, which re-strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane Tuesday afternoon, is taking aim at Florida's west coast. Landfall is expected late Wednesday night as a Category 3 hurricane.Milton is closing in as Floridians are still recovering from the devastation unleashed by Hurricane Helene.
