The powerful category four storm is forecasted to hit somewhere near the Tampa Bay area sometime tonight.

Yesterday, Milton intensified back up to category five status, and people made an eerie observation of how it looked:

Senior meteorologist at The Weather Channel, Stu Ostro, compared it to Hurricane Matthew in 2016, which also looked like a skull:

The original skull face with #Matthew in 2016, and #Milton tonight

Both are "M" storms

"Matthew is a trickster, no doubt, but Milton looks far more sinister," this person pointed out.
