Hurricane Milton live updates: ‘Potentially catastrophic’ Category 5 storm takes aim at Florida

Milton hurricane rapidly intensified on October 7th, with wind speeds reaching 257 km/h, making it a Category 5 hurricane — the highest level on the U.S. scale — just two days after forming in the Gulf of Mexico.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicts that Milton will make landfall on Florida’s west coast midweek as a high-intensity storm. The projected path shows that Hurricane Milton will strike the Tampa Bay area on October 9th and continue moving through Central Florida toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Although Milton is smaller than the previous superstorm Helene, it will pass through more densely populated areas, increasing the risk of storm surges and causing significant damage.

Southern Florida has already begun to feel the initial impacts of the storm, with flooding reported in Miami-Dade County and the Everglades. Flood warnings are expected to remain in effect in many areas until October 10th. Forecast models are concerned that if Hurricane Milton makes landfall in Tampa Bay, it could cause severe storm surges and potentially become the region’s most catastrophic natural disaster in history.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency in 51 counties, advising residents to stock up on enough food and water for a week and be prepared for evacuation. Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for many healthcare facilities and high-risk areas. Public services and schools in several places, such as Pinellas County, have been temporarily closed from October 7th to October 9th in response to Hurricane Milton.

Hurricane and storm surge warnings have been issued for multiple areas along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Heavy rainfall of up to 37 cm is expected to impact the Florida Peninsula and the Florida Keys from October 8th to October 9th.

Catherine Zeta-Jones’ daughter is growing up fast, and she looks just like her famous mom

It can’t be easy growing up under the bright spotlight that comes with having two famous Hollywood actors for parents.

To put it mildly, Dylan Michael and Carys Zeta Douglas, the daughters of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, will probably never lack anything, even though there are undoubtedly worse places to be born.

The media has been keenly observing Dylan and Carys’s growth, with many speculating about whether they will emulate their well-known parents and achieve fame of their own.

At least it appears that we finally have a solution for Carys.

Zeta-Jones has been open about her expectations that her two children would try to follow her into the big screen.

“You want to look at them when they’re on stage,” the 49-year-old said in an interview with Hello! Magazine. They’re interested in the craft as well. My son wants to study theater for his bachelor’s degree. My daughter thought that being an actress would be a better career than being a pediatrician until she was five years old.

Since both of the kids wish to follow in their parents’ footsteps, a lot of people are interested in seeing how the two kids grow. For those who require further proof, the recent excitement around Carys—who has been receiving a lot of attention due to the fact that she is starting to resemble her mother more and more every day—is adequate.

When the teenage girl made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week the previous year, she generated a lot of attention.

She has been under the radar ever since, which makes sense considering that she is only 15 years old. But when she and her mother attended another fashion event this week, the radio quiet was broken.

Carys and Catherine stole the show at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda women’s couture event held at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. When the mother and daughter showed up dressed same, they posed for multiple pictures that highlighted their similarity.

Like her mother, Carys is definitely becoming into a lovely woman. Moreover, according on all accounts, her disposition is equally benevolent!
