Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane late Monday morning.

Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Milton now ranks as the third-greatest 24-hour wind speed intensification for a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. (Records are based on data since the satellite era began in the 1960s.)

    You would think religious people would say this is a sign. They probably do but apply it in the wrong direction.

      It’s only a sign when it hits blue states. In red states it’s HAARP or the Jewish space lasers.
