Leslie is now a tropical storm and the National Hurricane Center is watching an area of disorganized thunderstorms off the west coast of Africa. Here’s what you need to know.

A boat captain who tried to repair his boat as Hurricane Milton moved in ended up getting caught in what the Coast Guard called a “nightmare scenario.” After he went missing, the Coast Guard told him to stay with his vessel, but they lost contact as Milton intensified. Watch this video to see the man’s rescue after he spent the night in the Gulf of Mexico, clinging to a cooler.

As people in St. Lucie County, Florida, got ready for Milton, tornadoes on the hurricane's leading edge brought an early round of destruction. A man and woman describe what they went through.

Milton went from a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf to a Cat 3 at landfall in Florida, and maintained hurricane strength as it exited into the Atlantic. Meteorologist Danielle Banks explains the rare hurricane-force extratropical low.
