Hurricane Milton Wreaks Havoc in Florida

Hurricane Milton, a Category 3 storm, recently made landfall in Florida, resulting in over 3.4 million residents losing power and significant damage reported across the state. The hurricane's impact includes widespread flooding, infrastructure damage, and tornadoes, with a notable incident of a sailor being rescued after clinging to a cooler at sea. AutoNation closed 38 sites due to storm damage, and fuel shortages were reported across the region. The storm follows closely on the heels of Hurricane Helene, further compounding the devastation and prompting extensive rescue operations and relief efforts. The Biden administration continues to address these challenges amidst growing concerns over climate change, as extreme weather events become more frequent.
