Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane late Monday morning.

Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Milton now ranks as the third-greatest 24-hour wind speed intensification for a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. (Records are based on data since the satellite era began in the 1960s.)

    You would think religious people would say this is a sign. They probably do but apply it in the wrong direction.

      It’s only a sign when it hits blue states. In red states it’s HAARP or the Jewish space lasers.

      Yeah, they think it’s a sign that “too many gays” are now in Florida, and God has to punish the sodomites.

      Trying to get Florida Republicans to do any amount of introspection would be like trying to teach an ant to play basketball.

      It turns out it is a sign of Dems having weather control devices.

        Of all the gay lasers, the purple ones and those of higher frequency like UV and EUV have the most photonic power.
