Good morning. Today, my colleagues tell you the latest about Hurricane Milton. We're also covering the 2024 election, Hezbollah and the Harlem Renaissance. —David Leonhardt
A deadly night
Hurricane Milton is tearing across Florida. It has flooded the state from coast to coast and knocked out power for more than three million homes and businesses. It spewed tornadoes that killed people far from the storm's eye, destroyed homes and shredded the roof of the Tampa Bay Rays' stadium. See a map of the storm's path. Last night, Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Sarasota, halfway down Florida's Gulf Coast. It has spent the night slicing across the state, weakening but remaining a hurricane. It is expected to exit into the Atlantic soon. The full extent of the damage will become clear as the sun rises. Forecasters warned that storm surge could reach up to 13 feet, bringing a wave to the coast near Tampa Bay. Most of Florida is under a state of emergency. Several counties suspended emergency services because the conditions were too dangerous. Today, we will explain how this storm became so bad and give you the latest news as the country wakes up to Milton's damage. A hurricane and tornadoes?Milton was deadly even before it made landfall. Tornadoes spun out of its edges. At least 116 tornado warnings were issued across the state, Gov. Ron DeSantis said. Tornadoes killed people in Fort Pierce, on the east coast. Search and rescue efforts are underway there now. So how did that happen? Tornadoes are usually associated with America's flat plains. Thunderstorms can cause tornadoes, as they do in the South and Midwest. But often, the outer edges of hurricanes contain strong thunderstorms, too. Tornadoes that accompany hurricanes are usually weak and short-lived. Those accompanying Milton were more intense — "a little out of the ordinary," said a storm expert. "It's quite a day." He said it was a probably a sign of more to come. Two in two weeks
Florida has been hit by two deadly hurricanes in two weeks. The number of storms in the region varies from year to year. But experts say that storms are turning into hurricanes more frequently because climate change is heating the oceans. Record hot water temperatures fueled Milton, which escalated from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in a day. Tropical storms are much more likely to turn into strong hurricanes during marine heat waves, experts say. Those are now more frequent. Experts predict that this hurricane season will continue to be busy, a forecast which made one meteorologist in Florida emotional on air. His comments went viral. "This is just horrific," he said, adding: "The seas are just so incredibly, incredibly hot." More on Milton

The Harlem Renaissance was an explosion of Black art, music, writing and political thought. It was also a formative period for L.G.B.T. figures, who lived, performed and partied across Harlem. As Henry Louis Gates Jr. has written, Renaissance-era Harlem was "surely as gay as it was Black." A new Times article explores aspects of this history, including Ma Rainey, who sang about her attraction to women, and the Savoy Ballroom, which hosted drag balls. More on culture
