Hurricane Milton's maximum sustained winds from Oct. 7 through Oct. 8. Data: NOAA; Chart: Axios Visuals Menacing Hurricane Milton underwent not one but two periods of rapid intensification on its way toward a potentially devastating landfall in Florida. Why it matters: It is extremely rare that a storm twice makes the top 5 list of most intense Atlantic hurricanes on record, as measured by surface air pressure, with winds also reaching the high end of the intensity spectrum. This has increased its destructive potential, particularly when it comes to storm surge flooding and damaging winds. Zoom in: Both periods of intensification can be tied to record-warm ocean temperatures associated with a marine heat wave and climate change, along with favorable conditions in the atmosphere. What's next: Hurricane Milton will make its approach to western Florida through tonight, with forecasters and residents watching every wobble of the eye for signs of where the worst of the storm will come ashore.
