Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Siesta Key, Florida, causing widespread destruction and power outages for nearly 2 million residents. The storm has resulted in at least 19 confirmed tornadoes, multiple fatalities, and significant damage to homes and infrastructure, particularly impacting areas like St. Lucie County and Tampa Bay. As Milton moved inland, it weakened but continued to pose life-threatening conditions with strong winds and flash floods. In response, Texas has deployed resources, including the National Guard and rescue teams, to aid in search and rescue operations. Many Florida residents evacuated to neighboring states, such as Georgia, where overcrowded highways and limited resources like gas posed additional challenges. Free evacuation centers and shelters have been set up across affected regions to accommodate displaced individuals.
