Milton: The hurricane scientists were dreading

Hurricane Milton has torn through Florida bringing 100mph winds, flooding and storm surges with it. Several people have lost their lives, and more than three million homes and businesses have been left without power.

On today’s Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to our US correspondent James Matthews from the heart of the storm in Tampa, Florida, about the scale of the damage so far. He’s also joined in the studio by science and technology editor Tom Clarke to explore why this part of the US is so susceptible to hurricanes, and why scientists were so worried about this storm in particular.
