Hurricane Milton forms skull-like face before approaching Florida

Daily Mail  

A creepy satellite image of Hurricane Milton shows the storm taking the shape of a skull before making landfall in Florida on Wednesday. Experts have described Hurricane Milton as a 'monster' storm - which makes this satellite image all the more fitting. The full extent of Milton's damage is still unknown, but reports and photos show extensive devastation, including yachts, sailboats and other vessels tossed onto land, downed power lines and homes turned to rubble. Milton could still flood parts of Florida's Gulf Coast with storm surge as high as three to five feet.
