Watch live as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida's west coast. Now a rare and catastrophic Category 5 storm, with winds surpassing 160 mph, Milton is expected to unleash destructive storm surges, heavy rainfall, and dangerous winds when it makes landfall Wednesday night. Residents are urged to evacuate or take shelter immediately. Milton intensified rapidly from a tropical storm to a Category 5 within just 48 hours, partly due to unusually warm Gulf waters. With a central pressure below 900 mb, Milton joins a short list of Atlantic storms to achieve this intensity in recent years.
