Hurricane Milton Causes Severe Damage in Florida

Hurricane Milton has caused significant damage across Florida, with millions still without power and severe flooding, especially in Seminole County near the Little Wekiva River. Emergency response efforts include thousands of volunteers from organizations like the Red Cross and Team Rubicon providing shelter and food to displaced residents. Despite weakening before landfall, the storm's impact was severe, prompting federal aid and National Guard rescues. Alabama has deployed a search and rescue task force to assist, alongside volunteers from Texas, California, and Louisiana. The political climate is tense, with former President Trump accusing FEMA of mismanaging disaster relief funds, a claim denied by FEMA. Florida's infrastructure, already weakened by Hurricane Helene, faces further challenges in recovery efforts.
