According to the United States' National Hurricane Center, the hurricane is described as 'extremely dangerous' with a chance of devastating impact because it's approaching less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the southeastern parts of the US.
According to reports, Milton could trigger the biggest spate of evacuation orders in the state since 2017’s Hurricane Irma, where seven million people were urged to leave their homes.
From a digital perspective, it's interesting to note that Hurricane Milton is the first-ever recorded 4k live stream from the International Space Station, reports Friedman.
The footage, which was shot by astronaut Matthew Dominick, illustrates the hurricane's enormous size as it barrels towards the US coast.
The live stream was made available for free to members of the public on sen.com, mobile and YouTube channels to give everyone with internet access to see real-time updates.
Meanwhile, a very turbulent video of 'hurricane hunters' flying a plane into the eye of the hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico to capture scientific data about the hurricane is also going viral.
