Hurricane Milton, located in the Gulf of Mexico, is considered a Category 1 (out of 5) hurricane. It is expected to become a “major hurricane” (Category 3 and above) on Monday before reaching the west coast of Florida in the middle of the week, the US Hurricane Watch (NHC) warned.
These forecasts issued by the agency raise concerns in Florida, and in the southeast of the United States, much of which was destroyed by Helen’s departure.
Rescue efforts are still underway to help the many victims of this hurricane, which is the worst to hit the United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Hurricane Helen also hit the states of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, causing historic flooding and killing at least 226 people.
The US Weather Observatory (NOAA) warned in late May that the hurricane season, which runs from early June to late November, would be exceptional this year, with the potential for four to seven Category 3 hurricanes or more. .
