Following Infowars’ reporting on Hurricane Milton Monday morning, the storm began to intensify. The AP and NPR reported Monday night that the storm had reached Category 5, the most powerful category of hurricane, although the National Weather Service reported Tuesday morning that Milton is a Category 4.
“Maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher gusts. Milton is an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. While fluctuations in intensity are expected, Milton is forecast to remain an extremely dangerous hurricane through landfall in Florida,” the National Weather Service said Tuesday morning.
A screenshot from the National Weather Service Tuesday morning indicates the storm is expected to head toward Florida, making landfall Wednesday night.
“Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida,” The National Weather Service also reported Tuesday morning.
BNO News reported on social media Monday evening that Milton has become one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded.

Storm chaser Colin McCarthy reported Monday night that the air pressure dropped to an ‘infamously low’ level, an indicator of an extremely powerful storm.
Hurricane Milton's minimum pressure has dropped to the infamous sub-900 mb mark, with a central pressure of 897 mb, making it the 5th most intense hurricane in Atlantic history by central pressure.

Experts are calling for Milton to be upgraded to a Category 6 hurricane, with meteorologist Noah Bergren left at a loss for words to describe its intensity:

Talkshow host and geopolitical analyst Mike Adams issued a warning about the expected aftermath of Milton.
Hurricane Milton is now reported as having SUSTAINED winds of 180 MPH. A modern-built home, even built to FEMA standards, can only withstand about 140-150 MPH winds before the roof is lifted off the structure and the entire thing collapses. Do the math. This storm is going toā¦

“This storm is going to obliterate many structures, including homes, commercial buildings, schools and more. The damage is shaping up to be catastrophic, with a long aftermath period where there’s no electricity, no passable roads, no cell towers, no water supply, no bandwidth (except for Starlink), etc.,” Adams said early Tuesday morning.
Monday’s evacuations clogged the motorways and fears of running out of fuel in the wake of empty stations were compounding the traffic situation.
Florida Gulf Coast evacuees heading north on I-75 are facing a critical fuel shortage, with nearly every gas station emptied.

As traffic crawls bumper-to-bumper, vehicles may soon stall, blocking the escape route, while the storm intensifies beyond normal patterns.

Adams also reported Monday evening that one of his sources told him about the lack of fuel at stations.

“I’ve been trying to get intel on the fuel situation, and so far I’ve been told that once Gov. DeSantis declared the emergency, fuel resources get re-prioritized to law enforcement and first responders, with less fuel available to civilians. Not sure where replacement fuel is going to come from, but many of those who did not bring extra fuel are going to run out. I-75 is going to become a parking lot along vast stretches,” Adams said Monday evening.
