Hurricane Milton's path toward Florida

NPR  

Hurricane Milton's path toward Florida JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: Thousands of Floridians spent much of Monday and Tuesday creeping along the state's highways, trying to get to a safe space. That's because Hurricane Milton, what forecasters are calling a worst-case scenario, is making its way toward the west coast of the state. You basically need a really good energy source, and you need an environment that is free of hostile factors that would potentially take away from the storm's ability to intensify. SUMMERS: Now, Hurricane Milton is expected, of course, to make landfall on Wednesday, and there's a lot that could happen after, including storm surge, flash floods, extreme winds.
