Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane late Monday morning.

Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Milton now ranks as the third-greatest 24-hour wind speed intensification for a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. (Records are based on data since the satellite era began in the 1960s.)

        I need only three things:

        1. Where is the hurricane
        2. What path did it already take
        3. How strong / fast is it

        Bonus: Prediction path it will take.

        I was thinking this would be very easy to visualize. From such important data sources you’d expect more.
