Hurricane Milton plows across Florida, at least 4 dead
SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton struck Florida, causing severe destruction and at least four fatalities before moving into the Atlantic Ocean. Making landfall as a Category 3 storm in Siesta Key, it brought damaging winds, heavy rains, and tornadoes, severely impacting cities like St. Petersburg, where over 16 inches of rain led to flash flooding. While Tampa was spared a direct hit, its residents faced significant challenges, including power outages affecting 3.2 million homes and businesses. Emergency officials warned of ongoing dangers, including flooding and downed power lines, urging residents to remain sheltered as rescue efforts intensified.
