Hurricane Milton intensified rainfall by 20 to 30% and strengthened winds by about 10% , scientists say.

The analysis comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the southeastern U.S. Researchers say without climate change, a hurricane like Milton would make landfall as a weaker Category 2 , not considered a “major” storm.

At least eight people died in Milton , which spread damage far and wide.
