Hurricane Milton Gains Strength, Could Make Landfall in Florida on Wednesday

U.S. authorities warn that today, Tuesday, is the last full day for residents of the state to prepare their families and evacuate if instructed to do so

According to the most recent post by the National Hurricane Center via their X account (@NWSNHC), information from the Air Force Reserve’s “Hurricane Hunters” unit indicates that Milton’s intensity has once again increased.

In this regard, it highlights that today a large area of destructive storm surge with maximum heights of 10 feet or more is expected along a portion of Florida’s west-central peninsula coast, and heavy rains over the peninsula through Thursday pose a risk of life-threatening flash and urban flooding, along with moderate to major river flooding.

Given this outlook, authorities warn that today, Tuesday, is the last full day for residents to prepare their families and evacuate if instructed to do so.
