Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall in Florida as a Category 5 hurricane on Wednesday morning – and it’s expected to be even worse than Helene.

Six million residents are under hurricane watch warnings and many have been ordered to evacuate as ‘life-threatening’ fifteen-foot-high storm surges and winds of up to 175mph barrel in.

Startling spaghetti models show the hurricane’s deadly path covering vast swathes of Florida.

Meteorology expert John Morales was on the verge of tears as he reported on what is to come for Florida live on NBC6.

‘It’s just an incredible, incredible, incredible hurricane. It has dropped– ‘ Morales said before pausing, visibly emotional.

‘It has dropped 50 millibars in 10 hours,’ he continued. ‘I apologize. This is just horrific.’

‘Maximum sustained winds are 160 mph,’ Morales added. ‘And it is just gaining strength in the Gulf of Mexico where the winds–I mean, the seas, are just so, incredibly, incredibly hot.

‘Record hot, as you might imagine. You know what’s driving that. I don’t need to tell you: global warming, climate change [are] leading to this and becoming an increasing threat for the Yucatan, including Merida and Progreso and other areas there.’
