Florida Governor Ron DeSantis holds a news conference at the State Emergency Operations Center. Milton has rapidly intensified into a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Florida prepared for its largest evacuation since 2017 as Hurricane Milton intensified in the Gulf of Mexico on its path toward the U.S. state's western coast, coming on the heels of the devastating Hurricane Helene.
