People have been ordered to stay indoors as Hurricane Milton continues to impact Florida after its devastating landfall. The storm caused extensive damage, with powerful winds ripping the roof off a stadium and even collapsing a crane.

Hurricane Milton continues to leave a devastating impact across Florida. The storm made landfall on the state’s western coast as a Category 4 hurricane with catastrophic wind speeds and storm surges. Despite being downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, its winds of 150 km/h (93 mph) and persistent rains are still wreaking havoc across the state.

Over 3 million homes and businesses have lost power, with some areas expected to remain without electricity for days. Flooding and storm surges have caused extensive damage to infrastructure, especially in low-lying areas. In the worst-hit zones, entire neighborhoods are underwater, and some areas have reported roofs torn from buildings and streets littered with debris.

Tragically, reports have confirmed several fatalities due to collapsing buildings, drowning, and flying debris. Emergency services are stretched thin as they attempt to rescue trapped residents and assess the full extent of the damage. Recovery teams are preparing for a long and difficult cleanup effort as communities struggle to cope with the aftermath of this deadly storm.

Authorities have issued evacuation orders in many areas, and those who haven’t yet evacuated are being advised to stay indoors and away from windows due to the risk of flying debris and falling trees. Meanwhile, meteorologists warn that the risk of flash flooding remains high due to the heavy rainfall that continues to pour down on already saturated land.

As the storm moves inland, concerns are growing over the potential for further damage in states like Georgia and the Carolinas, which are already bracing for the hurricane’s effects.
