“Tropical Storm Milton could become a hurricane as early as Sunday as it churns toward a devastating impact somewhere along Florida’s already battered Gulf Coast. The Tampa Bay region, still reeling from massive coastal flooding from Helene —its worst hurricane in a century — remained in the cross hairs of Milton, a small but fast-strengthening storm expected to become a major Category 3 hurricane before it bulldozes the Gulf Coast. At 8 a.m. Sunday, the center of the National Hurricane Center’s forecast track went literally up the mouth of Tampa Bay, which is ringed with communities already swamped by record storm surge from the passage of Helene just a week ago. Milton, on its current track, could potentially bring much worse.” (10/06/24)
