Gov. Brian Kemp issued a state of emergency Tuesday for 38 Georgia counties likely to be affected by Hurricane Milton.

The National Hurricane Center predicts the storm surge could get as high as 15 feet in some places, and rainfall totals could reach 18 inches.

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall in Florida late tonight as a dangerous storm, and time is running out for people to evacuate. And, the EPA has mandated a nationwide lead pipe removal.

In Coffee County, hard-hit by Hurricane Helene, many of the donated goods and supplies are coming through one local church.

Communities along Florida's west coast are bracing for a life-threatening storm. Many residents are taking Milton very seriously, heeding calls to evacuate to higher ground. Others are staying put.

Rumors, misinformation and lies about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene have run rampant since the storm made landfall, especially around FEMA funding.

Climate change hasn't increased the total number of hurricanes hitting the U.S., but it is making dangerous storms more common.

State officials say Milton could be one of the largest storm evacuations from Florida since Irma in 2017. What do Floridians leaving the state and coming our way need to know? 

Communities in Florida are bracing for the impact of Hurricane Milton, which quickly went intensified from a tropical storm to a powerful, life-threatening hurricane much faster than predicted.

Debris and saturated ground from Hurricane Helene could make Georgia more vulnerable to Milton.

Milton grew quickly into a Category 5 storm Monday morning and is forecast to make landfall in Florida midweek. The state could see its largest evacuation orders since 2017.

For the week ending Oct. 4, the senators continued to visit Georgia communities affected by Hurricane Helene and push Congress and federal government agencies to deliver support for those communities.

Hurricane Milton is expected to reach maximum wind speeds of 145 miles per hour. The National Hurricane Center urged Florida residents to complete storm preparations and seek safety before Wednesday.

The U.S. government's top disaster relief official said Sunday that false claims and conspiracy theories about the federal response to Hurricane Helene -- spread most prominently by Donald Trump -- are "demoralizing" aid workers and creating fear in people who need recovery assistance.

Former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the first assassination attempt against him, to rally his supporters just a month before Election Day.
