Hurricane Milton has intensified rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico, becoming a "potentially catastrophic" Category 5 storm.
The storm is making its way east toward Florida and is expected to make landfall late Wednesday on the state's Gulf Coast.
As Florida continues to recover from Hurricane Helene, as many as 15 million people are under flood watches there and 11 million are at risk for tropical tornadoes tomorrow and Wednesday.
Mandatory evacuations are underway along areas of the state's west coast.
Milton is forecast to reach peak intensity tomorrow morning then weaken to a strong Category 3 ahead of landfall.
