Watching closely.

PragmaticStatistic:
Take note of the impact that the warm surface current of the Thermohaline Circulation will have on Milton today Oct. 7, 2024. The warm current travels up the coast of Brazil past the equator and flows into the Gulf of Mexico just at the point Milton will travel today. The warm current then loops around down the west coast of Florida near Tampa, exactly where Milton is expected to travel. The warm current continues around the Florida Peninsula and up the Atlantic coast where Milton will once again pass over it. At this time of the year, the sea surface temperature along the coast of Florida is at its warmest. Considering its size, as the storm passes over land it will be pulling strength from the warm current on both sides of the peninsula.

Milton intensified from a Tropical Storm to a Category 4 Hurricane. This is some of the fastest intensifying hurricanes I have ever seen. Milton is expected to become a Category 5 hurricane later today.

This might be the first rapidly intensifying hurricane i've ever seen. It hasn't even been a year and Florida is already about to get slammed. Poor Florida.
