People in Florida are urged to evacuate before Hurricane Milton hits.  

US President Joe Biden has warned it could be the worst storm in a century.  

It comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene killed around 200 people and caused damage in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.  

US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that last night, it gained strength so fast it became one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded.  

He says some Florida weather forecasters were in tears on air because of what they were seeing.
