Florida is bracing yet again preparing evacuations as Hurricane Milton has strengthened.

Milton became a Category 3 storm on Monday, packing top sustained winds of 125 mph. The rapidly intensifying cyclone is spinning in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico and drifting to the east.

Before it crosses the Gulf of Mexico and strikes Florida, it is expected to be a Category 4 hurricane, but the National Hurricane Center forecasts it to be a Category 3 storm at the time of landfall. Before reaching Florida, Milton is expected to sideswipe Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. A hurricane warning is in place there.
