Hurricane Milton has made a devastating landfall in the US state of Florida, leaving behind a trail of destruction in its wake. The powerful storm has left more than two million homes and businesses without power, as well as causing a number of deaths along the Atlantic coast.
Despite being downgraded from a category five hurricane to a category one, Hurricane Milton is still wreaking havoc on the region. The aftermath of the storm is likely to be felt for days, if not weeks, as residents and emergency services work tirelessly to clean up and assess the extent of the damage.
The impact of Hurricane Milton comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread devastation and claimed the lives of at least 225 people across several states in the US. The back-to-back hurricanes have put immense strain on communities and resources, with many still struggling to recover from the previous storm.
As the cleanup efforts continue in Florida, residents are urged to stay safe and follow the guidance of local authorities. Our thoughts are with those affected by Hurricane Milton, and we stand in solidarity with the people of Florida during this challenging time.
