Just two weeks after Hurricane Helene caused widespread damage, the city of Savannah is bracing for another storm, Hurricane Milton, expected to bring gusty winds and potential hazards. Predicted wind gusts for Milton reaching 30 to 40 miles per hour.

It’s hard to find much of a forecast cause for optimism. Milton will combine a generational surge threat to west-central Florida with widespread wind impacts and flash flooding.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has been fighting misinformation since Helene slammed into Florida nearly two weeks ago

Florida communities near Tampa Bay were devastated when Hurricane Helene made landfall two weeks ago about 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the north

As Hurricane Milton approaches landfall in Florida this week, the National Hurricane Center is releasing a series of data sets to help warn the public of the risks. Storm surge is one of the deadliest aspects of a strong hurricane as it approaches land.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reportedly refused to take Vice President Kamala Harris’ calls about storm recovery after Hurricane Helene and ahead of Hurricane Milton.
