SUMMARY: Florida is currently facing severe flooding and damage after Hurricane Milton, which recently made landfall. CBS News correspondent Tom Hansen reports from Daytona Beach, highlighting significant flooding in low-lying areas where rain has accumulated, inundating homes and neighborhoods. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with officials advising against returning to homes due to downed power lines and dangerous water conditions. Meteorologist Kate Boo emphasizes that flood threats will persist due to the storm’s remnants and heavy rainfall. The situation is unprecedented, as Florida has experienced back-to-back storms, causing extensive damage that will require years of recovery.

Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast, but the state‘s Atlantic Coast wasn’t spared from the storm. CBS News correspondent Tom Hanson has more on the conditions there and CBS News Philadelphia meteorologist Kate Bilo has a look at the progression of the storm.
