Hurricane Milton LIVE: At least 4 Killed in Florida, 3Mn Lose Power | Hurricane Aftermath | US News LIVE | CNBC TV18
Hurricane Milton howled across the Florida Peninsula on Thursday, tearing a path of destruction from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic and knocking out power to millions but averting the "worst case scenario" meteorologists, officials and residents had feared.
Milton did not go quietly, however, flooding neighborhoods, destroying homes, ripping the roof off a major sports venue and toppling a massive crane into an office building. At least two deaths were reported − at a retirement community following a suspected tornado in Fort Pierce on the state's east coast, St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson told local TV stations.
Hurricane Milton made landfall as Category 3 storm Wednesday night hours after tropical storm-force winds lashed Florida.
Millions had been ordered to evacuate and bridges closed as the fluctuated in intensity, bringing damaging winds and flooding rains.
The storm had been barreling toward the Tampa Bay area, home to more 3.3 million people. The region has managed to avoid a direct hit from a major hurricane for over a century.
The storm is expected to retain hurricane strength as it crosses central Florida through Thursday and toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Multiple fatalities were reported in St. Lucie County and figures were expected to climb. Authorities, meanwhile, have halted patrols until the storm passes. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told residents it is now too dangerous to evacuate and to hunker down.
