Milton grew more powerful and gained hurricane status Sunday as it rolled through the Gulf of Mexico on a track that imperils areas of the Florida Peninsula still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

Check your evacuation zone. If Pinellas evacuates up to zone C on Monday, it will be the largest evacuation of the county since 2022′s Hurricane Ian. Even if you think you’re safe, check your zone on the Florida Department of Emergency Management website.

Milton is forecast to rapidly intensify in the next couple of days in the Gulf of Mexico and become a major hurricane on Monday, forecasters said.
