New hurricane Milton threatens Florida - strong storm damage is expected!

in Washington the impending danger of another hurricane ensures concern in Florida. After the tropical storm “Helene” recently raged as the second highest hurricane in the United States, the residents must now also expect hurricane “Milton”. In the afternoon (local time), this was raised to the first of five hurricane categories over the Gulf of Mexico with persistent wind speeds of up to 128 kilometers per hour.

The warnings are clear: Meteorologists assume that “Milton” will meet Florida's west coast on land in the middle of the week. The hurrican center has already warned of the possible consequences such as life -threatening storm surges and strong winds. In view of the devastating events that “Helene” left, fear among the Floridians is great.

episodes of the storm «Helene»

Just a little more than a week ago "Helene" caused a devastating damage in northwestern Florida. The once strong hurricane weakened, but left serious floods and destruction on his way to the north. The storm called for more than 200 lives in several states, including Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, according to agreed media reports.

The hurricane season in the Atlantic, which begins on June 1st and lasts until November 30th, carries numerous risks for the coastal states. Experts indicate that increasing global warming favors the development of strong vertebral storms. In this way, these tropical storms mostly develop over warm ocean water, which influences their intensity.

The ongoing location not only underlines the need for precautionary measures, but also the awareness of the challenges that climate change brings. While authorities make all efforts to protect the population, it remains to be seen how strongly the upcoming hurricane "Milton" will actually be and which prevention measures can be successfully implemented.
