Hurricane Milton hits Florida, leaving more than 3 million without power

Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida's west coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing powerful winds, deadly storm surges, and flooding to the region. The storm drew fuel from the warm Gulf of Mexico waters, twice reaching Category 5 status, and triggered tornadoes before its arrival. As of Thursday morning, the storm had weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, but was still registering powerful winds of up to 90 miles per hour. The hurricane caused significant destruction, with incredible pictures of the devastation being shared online. Millions of people along a stretch of more than 483 kilometers of coastline were under evacuation orders, and the storm delivered a life-threatening surge of seawater to waterfront communities.
