Hurricane Milton has left at least 16 dead and caused power outages for over 2.5 million residents across Florida, with utility crews working to restore electricity amidst severe damage. As of Friday, approximately 57,030 customers remain without power from Florida Power and Light (FPL), while Duke Energy reports over 850,000 customers still in the dark. The hurricane, which brought tornadoes and torrential rains, has prompted extensive cleanup efforts, but the full extent of the damage is still being assessed. Airports and theme parks have reopened, but many communities continue to face dangerous conditions, including downed power lines and flooding. The storm is projected to cost insurance companies between $30 and $60 billion, as recovery efforts begin with federal support promised. Political leaders are facing criticism over their response to the disaster, with heightened tensions noted between parties regarding recovery efforts.
