Floridians faced a grim reality as Hurricane Milton swept through, leading to multiple fatalities and widespread power outages, with 3 million residents affected across the state.
Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted that while Milton was not the worst-case scenario, tornadoes caused significant destruction, particularly evident in Sarasota County with storm surges reaching 8 to 10 feet.
Four tragic deaths were confirmed in St. Lucie County due to tornadoes, targeting vulnerable populations in a retirement community, casting a pall over the storm's aftermath.
The footage of an alligator snapping at cars amid rising floodwaters served as a stark reminder of wildlife disturbances during such storms, underlining expert warnings to stay safe around disoriented animals.
