Meanwhile, Hurricane Milton's fierce winds and storm surges have prompted widespread evacuations across Florida, with many residents fleeing to safer ground. By the time Hurricane Milton began its approach, it had been downgraded to Category 3, but its impact was still severe. Dodge passed away last year, and honoring his legacy, his ashes were scattered within the eye of Hurricane Milton. No doubt Hurricane Milton is setting the stage for continued research and study about hurricanes, their formation, and their unpredictable paths toward land. Thank you, Hurricane Hunters, not just for your data, but for your courage each time you fly toward the storm.
