Vídeo: o furacão Milton visto do Espaço
O furacão Milton, de categoria 5, a máxima da escala, dirige-se para a costa oeste da Florida, nomeadamente para a cidade de Tampa, onde foi dada ordem de evacuação.
O furacão formou-se no golfo do México e fez-se já sentir no México, com chuva torrencial e trovoada, tendo sido já registadas rajadas de 250 km/hora. Foi visto pela Estação Espacial Internacional e é impressionante.

#Milton is the fastest Atlantic hurricane to intensify from a Tropical Depression to a Category 5 Hurricane, taking just over 48 hours. This animation shows Milton as it intensified, with the heaviest rains (red) concentrated near the center. https://t.co/uXpdGH1yEd pic.twitter.com/YWwrpgQcTe
