Authorities are now focused on assessing the impact of Hurricane Milton, which has resulted in at least 16 confirmed fatalities and widespread destruction across Florida.
The unexpected track and timing of Hurricane Milton, which made landfall shortly after Hurricane Helene, has contributed to the ongoing challenges of recovery and assessment for local authorities.
Despite the heavy rainfall and storm surge that impacted regions in Florida, the extensive evacuation efforts prior to the hurricane landfall likely mitigated a much higher death toll.
Milton's chaotic weather patterns, producing dozens of tornadoes and wreaking havoc on homes and infrastructure, reflected the unpredictable nature of modern hurricanes that threaten coastal communities.
