IT’S SNOWING IN FLORIDA! ❄️

Hurricane Milton hits Florida - as seen from space.

Abundant lightning can be seen in southern Florida, where numerous tornadoes occurred today.

[CIRA @CIRA_CSU]

Hurricane Milton putting on an impressive lightning show as it swirls in the Gulf of Mexico.

Milton is once again an intensifying storm.

[Nahel Belgherze @WxNB_]

The International Space Station just orbited above Hurricane Milton as it is re-intensifying over the southern Gulf of Mexico.

Spectacular view from space.

As of 8 PM 10/7, #Milton has entered the top 5 most intense Atlantic hurricanes since records began. The NOAA Hurricane Hunters measured a minimum central pressure of 897 mb in Major Hurricane Milton this evening.

[Taylor Trogdon @TTrogdon]

In terms of atmospheric perfection, Milton is it. You simply won't find many examples of weather phenomena more representative of theory in textbooks. The eyewall is likely in near-cyclostrophic balance.

A satellite-loop for the history books.

#Milton is now a Category 5 #hurricane with max winds of 160 mph. Milton joins Michael as the only October Category 5 hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in the satellite era (1966-onwards).

[Bryan Bennett @weatherbryan]

UNBELIEVABLE. #Milton has rapidly intensified into a Cat 4 storm with estimated max winds of 150 mph.

🌀 This is one of the most rapid intensifications on record. (I'll have to go through my records to see exactly where it stands)

🌀It is only 7 mph short of a being a Cat 5, which will likely happen today or tomorrow.

🌀It's 735 miles away from Tampa, moving ESE at 8 mph.

🌀Central pressure of 940mb, which is stronger than most models had occurring this quick.

This shows the terminus of all the flash floods and debris flows from the Chimney Rock, NC area. This debris is basically the town of Chimney Rock

NWS Jacksonville has lost power and so KJAX & KVAX radars are down. @NWSNewOrleans has assumed backup for us. Please take shelter overnight as Helene makes landfall and heed all warnings. #flwx #gawx

[Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach]

#Hurricane #Helene is now a Category 4 hurricane with max winds of 130 mph. If it maintains that intensity until landfall, it would be the first Cat. 4+ hurricane on record to make landfall in Florida's Big Bend on record (since 1851). Prior record - Cedar Key (1896) - 125 mph.

What a 6-year stretch it's been for the Gulf Coast: 8 major hurricane landfalls.

(Several other Cat 1 and 2 landfalls as well in that time.)
