Hurricane Milton hit the coast of Siesta Key, Florida, as a Category III Hurricane on Wednesday evening and proceeded to wreak havoc in the state through disastrous gales, heavier rains, and deadly floodwaters from storm surges. The hurricane had been building up in the Gulf of Mexico for several days and hit with sustained winds of 125 mph, leaving devastation in its wake and displacing millions of people either by evacuation or through stay-at-home orders.

In fact, there was no loss of life in the occurrence of that event, but its consequences reminded people of the destructive force of the hurricane’s wind.

NBC News meteorologist Dylan Dreyer, who is in Bradenton, Florida, said that being in the eye of the storm is to go from ‘bad to calm and right back to worse.’ She explained that the last part of Milton was struck with strong winds, and the people had to wait to scramble for damages as soon as the weather cleared up.

Lukewarm waters and higher humidity lead to more intense and calamitous typhoons, as climate science deniers continue to insist that a climate crisis does not exist, according to critics.

Since the tragedy occurred in Florida in the first days of September, people of this state faced the next test of The Recovery reconstruction of lives and homes. As the season is not over yet, people and authorities are urged to keep readiness always on their minds and remain aware of the struggles present in intensifying weather conditions.
