Today, why hurricanes are more dangerous than ever.
In the past month,
two major hurricanes hit the southeastern United States.
Helene picked up massive amounts of energy
from the unusually warm Gulf waters.
Hurricane Milton has barreled into Florida with historic fury.
Milton is the second major hurricane to hit the region
in less than two weeks,
making landfall in Siesta Key earlier tonight.
Milton spawned tornadoes,
unleashing torrential downpours and catastrophic mudslides.
More than 5 inches of rain in three hours.
It is still producing relentless rain and.
Wind, landslides and flooding, washing away roads and bridges.
Record rain from Helene left some of these towns
and cities in absolute ruins.
Milton has passed, but the water continues to rise.
The desperation for food, water and power.
