Millions Are Without Power After Milton Tore Through Florida
Briefly

Hurricane Milton carved an uneven path of destruction across Florida, maintaining hurricane-strength winds until its exit into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving nearly three million without power.
Milton caused intense tornadoes that killed at least five people, with many residents experiencing repeated flooding, highlighting the storm's devastating impact on vulnerable communities.
Despite the hurricane's ferocity, the Tampa Bay region saw less damage than feared, causing some relief among residents, though many faced ongoing challenges from wind damage.
Efforts to ensure evacuation were largely successful, with President Biden noting that over 80,000 Floridians sheltered safely during the storm, demonstrating effective emergency response.
