Photo: Hurricane Milton Causes Massive Damage Throughout Florida

Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene killed more than 230 people in the Southeast, another monster hurricane is rampaging over Florida. 

President Joe Biden called Hurricane Milton "the storm of the century" and urged residents to obey evacuation orders. Tropical storm-force winds, heavy rainfall, and tornadoes rushed inland as the powerful hurricane hit Siesta Key in Sarasota County.

People in the Tampa Bay area flee as Milton aims for Florida. However, it is projected to be a historic big storm in the US and one of the most destructive storms ever to hit Florida's Gulf Coast. 

Its damage is already being seen throughout the state. Even worse, there are deaths confirmed.
