In October, Milton became one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded over the Gulf of Mexico, with winds hitting 285 kilometres per hour. Once it made landfall as a category 3 storm in Florida, it caused storms and flooding that wrecked homes and power lines. It killed at least 35 people, 32 in the US and three in Mexico.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ArticleImage\">\n<div class=\"Image__Wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image lazyload\" width=\"1350\" height=\"900\" alt=\"The Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland erupting in February\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1288px) 837px, (min-width: 1024px) calc(57.5vw + 55px), (min-width: 415px) calc(100vw -
