The science about climate change’s role in hurricanes is still considered unsettled, experts told PolitiFact, but more recent studies looking at the past 40 years have found that the storms forming now tend to be stronger than in the past.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is easing some elections rules this year after officials in several counties asked for emergency relief following back-to-back hurricanes. The Florida Supervisor of Elections association on Tuesday sent a letter to DeSantis asking him to waive several state requirements in counties that were impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Eleven counties slammed by Hurricane Milton can adjust early voting times and set up new polling places under an order signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

This order will add these counties to a previous executive order he put out after Hurricane Helene that allowed for changes.
