Voice of America | Florida residents assess Hurricane Milton's aftermath | VOA News @VOANews | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Florida residents are assessing the destruction caused by Hurricane Milton, which triggered heavy rains and flooding, spawned tornadoes and caused widespread power outages as it came ashore.
Milton, now a powerful post-tropical cyclone, brought damaging winds to central and northern Florida on Thursday, destroying homes and leaving at least five people dead and 3 million without electricity before moving over the Atlantic Ocean. Utility companies warned that outages could last for an extended period of time.
President Joe Biden, in a televised address Thursday about the government's response, said, "This is going to be a long haul for total rebuilding.
"It's going to take several billion dollars. ... We will do everything in our power to help you recover," the president said.
