Hurricane Milton, a category 3 storm is going to be deadly and catastrophic as millions flee Florida for safety.

The Miami Office of the National Weather Service issued more tornado warnings by yesterday afternoon(41)than on any other calendar day on record.

The storm surge has begun on the southwest Florida coast, with the gauge at Naples already 4 feet above normal levels, reaching the level of minor flooding.

Hurricane Milton is forecast to be at category three strength when it makes landfall over southern Sarasota.

US President Joe Biden has slammed a "reckless" promotion of "outright lies" by Donald Trump and others about the federal government's response.

It comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the Gulf Coast as a category four storm, killing at least 225 people across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina.
