Florida orders new evacuations as Hurricane Milton strengthens

Survivors of deadly Hurricane Helene along the Florida coast were ordered to evacuate again as authorities warned another major storm was building into a Category 3 and would cause "devastating damage". Relief workers in the area are still racing to find survivors in the aftermath of Helene, which killed more than 225 people across a handful of states. Storm surge warnings were issued once again for parts of Florida as Milton, currently a Category 1, approached with winds of 161 kilometres an hour, the US National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory on Monday.
