Isn't Milton supposed to hit the West coast of Florida as a major hurricane but be down to tropical storm by the time it reaches the East coast?

| Climate Change is a huge but gradual contributor. As the world warms (as a whole...like I said things will be erratic and some spots might temporarily get cold) the oceans get deeper.
