Hurricane Milton: Florida Faces Another Major Hurricane
by Andrew Freedman
Updated October 6, 2024

Introduction:

(Axios) Hurricane Milton is intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico and is forecast to become a major hurricane of at least Category 3 intensity by Tuesday.

Threat level: Milton was upgraded to hurricane status Sunday, and is forecast to hit the damaged west coast of Florida on Wednesday into Thursday as a major hurricane.

• The area under greatest threat for landfall includes Tampa-St. Petersburg, including Sarasota, as well as areas north to Crystal River and south to Naples.

• The forecast track has shifted slightly south as of Sunday, but Tampa is still in the crosshairs. A direct hit on Tampa could be extremely damaging for that storm surge-prone city.

• It would pile storm surge waters into the bay, including critical infrastructure along the water.

Stunning stat: No major hurricane has struck Tampa from the west since at least 1921.
