This morning, some parts of Florida are still experiencing a rise in flood waters as Hurricane Milton makes its presence known. The storm, now a Category 3 with winds exceeding 100mph, has officially made landfall in Florida. Its powerful winds have caused damage and destruction, including a series of deadly tornadoes. The first touchdown occurred near Siesta Key, a small community located along the beach just south of Tampa. As the storm continues, it has weakened slightly to a Category 2.
The Tampa Bay area has been fortunate enough to avoid a major hurricane for over a century, but Milton has broken that streak. Despite the storm's downgrade, it is still bringing a potentially life-threatening storm surge to Florida's Gulf Coast. This has caused concern and evacuation in many areas, as residents and officials prepare for the worst.
In addition to the storm surge, multiple tornadoes have also formed in the wake of Hurricane Milton. Unfortunately, there have already been reported deaths in St Lucie county. This serves as a reminder of the destructive power of natural disasters and the importance of taking necessary precautions during such events.
As Florida continues to be impacted by Hurricane Milton, the damage and destruction are becoming more evident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this devastating storm. We urge everyone to stay safe and heed the warnings and instructions of local authorities.
