LIVE – *** Tracking Hurricane Milton

Watch live as Hurricane Milton nears Florida’s west coast. Now an extremely rare and destructive Category 5 storm, Milton has wind speeds exceeding 160 mph and is set to bring devastating storm surges, torrential rain, and life-threatening winds when it strikes Wednesday night. Authorities are urging residents to evacuate or seek immediate shelter.

Milton’s rapid escalation from a tropical storm to a Category 5 in just 48 hours was fueled by unusually warm Gulf waters. With a central pressure dipping below 900 mb, Milton joins the ranks of a few powerful Atlantic storms to reach this intensity in recent years.
