The National Hurricane Center described Hurricane Milton's evolution as "remarkable," as it has rapidly become the strongest hurricane to emerge from the Gulf of Mexico since Hurricane Michael in 2018.

Milton has rapidly intensified into a category 5 hurricane, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Monday. Milton is located about 735 miles (1175 km) southwest of Tampa, Florida, with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (250 kph),
