Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - MIAMI — A state of emergency has been declared in parts of Florida as a hurricane barrels towards the already-ravaged Gulf Coast.
The National Hurricane Center confirmed that Milton -- currently off the coast of Mexico -- had intensified into a Category 1 hurricane on Sunday and could pose "life-threatening hazards" for parts of Florida's west coast.
It comes just 10 days after Storm Helene - the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005 - tore through the southeast, killing at least 225 people, with hundreds still missing.
In Florida, where Helene left at least 14 dead, Governor Ron DeSantis issued an emergency warning for 35 counties and said preparations were under way to restore power and clear roads ahead of Milton's arrival.
On Sunday, Milton had maximum sustained winds of 80mph (130km/h).
“There is increasing confidence that a powerful hurricane with life-threatening hazards will be affecting portions of the Florida west coast around the middle of this week," the Hurricane Centre said.
Heavy rain was expected in the region from Sunday into Monday, with more rain and strong winds on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
Rainfall could be between 5-8in (127-203mm) across the Florida Peninsula and the Keys, with some areas receiving up to 12in (304mm), which could bring a risk of flash flooding and minor-to-moderate river flooding for parts of the west coast, the center said. — BBC
