Helene, Milton and other storms this year offer proof that humans are making hurricanes worse, but not through the means spread by conspiracy theories.
World & Nation
Hurricane Helene has strengthened into a Category 4 storm as it races toward northwest Florida and causes flooding on the Gulf Coast and power outages inland.
Milton has become a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico on a path toward Florida’s west coast, threatening a dangerous storm surge in Tampa Bay.
The threats emerged in North Carolina over the weekend, with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office stating it received a call about a man with an assault rifle.
Forecasters are warning that huge Hurricane Helene will intensify in the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall in Florida.
Farmers in the South are still reeling months after Hurricane Helene blew away cotton, destroyed ripe vegetables and uprooted pecan trees and timber.
Forecasters said 5 to 10 inches of rain are expected across eastern Cuba through Tuesday, with some isolated locations getting up to 15 inches.
