Hurricane Milton struck the west coast of Florida late Wednesday, October 9, 2024. Before it struck the coast, multiple tornadoes touched down, with one tornado reported killing 5 citizens. The storm surge appears to have been mercifully less than expected. So far, 12 are confirmed dead, but that number is expected to rise. 3 million people are reported without power.
