Days after Helene struck Florida's Big Bend coast as a Category 4 hurricane, Milton rapidly intensified into a hurricane and appeared to aim at Florida.

Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene pushed the Gulf of Mexico into tens of thousands of living rooms along Florida’s west coast, a new storm is threatening a repeat. But this time, streets and yards and parks are filled with all of the detritus scraped from those flooded homes — fridges, cabinets, bookcases, drywall and lamps.

As of 5 a.m. Sunday, Hurricane Kirk was located about 1,270 miles west of the Azores moving north-northeast at 23 mph with sustained winds of 105 mph. That keeps Kirk a Category 2 hurricane, having lost steam since it reached Category 4 level earlier this week and becoming the season’s third major hurricane.
