Four Deaths Recorded After Hurricane Milton

Hurricane Milton did leave behind much destruction and at least four storm related deaths have been recorded.

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm.

The storm brought up to 18-inches of rain to the Tampa and St. Petersburg areas. The worst storm surge appeared to be in Sarasota County where it was 8 to 10 feet.

The storm resulted in power outages across a large section of Florida. Over 3.2 million homes and businesses are without electricity.

Storm surge warnings were issued for much of the east-central coast of Florida, Georgia, and tropical storm warnings were in place in South Carolina.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said while it caused a lot of damage, it was not the worst case scenario.

However, Hurricane Milton did leave behind much destruction and at least four storm related deaths have been recorded.
