The storm made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane along Florida's Gulf Coast, impacting millions and leaving many without electricity. However, it was downgraded to a Category 1 as it moved across the state.
Florida Governor Ron De Santis remarked that the damage from Hurricane Milton was 'not the worst-case scenario,' with over 80,000 individuals seeking shelter as the storm hit.
The tragedy escalated in St. Lucie County, where tornadoes generated by Hurricane Milton resulted in four fatalities, primarily affecting neighborhoods with senior residents.
Hurricane Milton's approach created severe weather across Florida, with flash flood warnings still active, highlighting the ripple effects of hurricanes that can lead to increased tornado activity.
