"You face two hurricanes in a couple of weeks - not easy to go through - but I've seen a lot of resilience throughout this state," said Gov. DeSantis.
"Despite the destruction, many people expressed relief that Milton wasn't worse. The hurricane spared Tampa a direct hit, and the lethal storm surge that scientists feared never materialized."
"Arriving just two weeks after the misery wrought by Hurricane Helene... the system also knocked out power to more than 3 million customers, flooded barrier islands, tore the roof off a baseball stadium and toppled a construction crane."
"Damage was widespread, and water levels may continue to rise for days, but Gov. Ron DeSantis said it was not 'the worst-case scenario.'"
