Since 1950, just eight storms have gained that much speed at any point in their lifespan. Scientists say climate change is leading to more storms that rapidly pick up speed before they make landfall, and they\u2019ve already pointed to warming oceans as a potent fuel source for Milton.<\/p>\n<p>Milton reached Category 5 with winds of 180 mph (290 kph) while still in the Gulf, but the storm encountered wind shear as it neared land that dropped it to a Category 3 \u2014 less powerful but plenty strong enough to inflict terrible damage. At landfall, sustained winds were measured at 120 mph (about 205 kph). <\/p>\n<p>Storm surge \u2014 one of the most devastating elements of any hurricane \u2014 was believed to top out at 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 meters) in Sarasota County. That was less than feared. <\/p>\n<p>In comparison, Ian\u2019s 15-foot (4.6-meter) storm surge devastated the community of Fort Myers Beach two years ago. Michael\u2019s surge reached 14 feet along part of the Florida Panhandle.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane Irma, a Category 4 that struck in 2017, caused 10 direct deaths in the U.S. and another 82 indirect deaths, including 77 in Florida. Michael, a Category 5 in 2018, killed eight people directly in Florida and Georgia, and another 43 people indirectly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div

Debby, a much weaker Category 1, caused flooding in much of the state and across the Southeast in August.<\/p>\n<p>Milton\u2019s landfall in Florida marked the sixth time in history that Florida had three hurricanes make landfall in a single year, according to Colorado State University senior research scientist Phil Klotzbach. The other years were 1871, 1886, 1964, 2004 and 2005.<\/p>\n<p>The state in 2004 nearly had four hurricanes make landfall in a single year, Klotzbach said. But while Charley, Frances and Jeanne made landfall in Florida, Ivan made landfall just west of the Alabama\/Florida border.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>The Associated Press\u2019 climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
