As of Wednesday late morning, Milton had 145 mph sustained winds, making it a Category 4 hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Milton comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm in Florida's Big Bend region. More than 230 people have died due to Helene, according to the Associated Press.
