The Science Behind Why Hurricane Milton Is So Powerful
Milton is nothing short of a meteorological monster. The minimum threshold for a Category 5 storm —the most powerful type of hurricane—is sustained winds of 157 mph. Milton is exploding at 175 mph. Rainfall could reach a staggering 18 inches in parts of the Florida peninsula by Thursday and storm surges could reach 15 feet.
