Hurricane Milton was an extremely powerful Atlantic hurricane which became the second-most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded over the Gulf of Mexico, behind only Hurricane Rita in 2005. Milton made landfall in the U.S. state of Florida, less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the state's Big Bend region. It was the thirteenth named storm, ninth hurricane, fourth major hurricane, and second Category 5 hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. (wikipedia.org)
