SUMMARY: A new video from Tampa highlights the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Milton, which forced evacuations as the Alafia River overflowed. As many Floridians return home, they face power outages and lack of running water, with the death toll increasing. In Bradenton Beach, residents are reeling from the storm’s impact, as homes have been severely damaged—some uprooted and shifted several feet. Emergency crews began assessing the damage, while many buildings remain closed and access is restricted until assessments are complete. The destruction is overwhelming, exacerbating recovery efforts from previous storms.
