Milton Supercharged To Mega Cat. 5 Storm, Potentially Rivaling Pre-Civil War Hurricane

"Hurricane Milton is now a Category 5 storm, with maximum sustained winds in excess of 160 mph, according to the latest data from the National Hurricane Center. Meteorologist Mike Masco noted, "There is the potential for some additional increase in intensity through the day. Latest short-range high resolution forecast models show a landfall in the #Tampa #StPete area by Wednesday night. This type of "direct hit" as well as intensity based on the going forecast has not been seen since the 1848, that hurricane was believe to be a category 4>." ZeroHedge
