Hurricane Milton is barreling toward the west coast of Florida and is expected to make landfall on Wednesday night, according to the National Hurricane Center. Forecasters say the storm will be an “extremely dangerous hurricane through landfall.”
The new storm comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene battered Florida’s Big Bend region, along with Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s response to Hurricane Helene has come under scrutiny as the recovery in those states continues.
