Milton regained power on October 8 to become a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (270 kph) as it barrels towards the west-central coast of Florida and is forecast to make landfall late October 9, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Oh, and who helped create and promote the program? Harris, of course.
As rural Americans across the Southeast continue their cleanup efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton is making landfall in Florida and will leave a trail of destruction.
