Hurricane Milton fury hits Florida, 10 killed, millions left without power

Hurricane Milton arrived on the US West Coast on Thursday bringing with itself inclement weather that has caused damage and mass power cuts in Florida and also caused deaths. Although the Tampa Bay Metropolitan area has not been flooded, as experts had predicted, there have been mass power cuts with over 3 million customers without electricity. The category-3 storm also killed four people in St. Lucie County and spawned tornadoes that damaged numerous homes.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor noted that the water levels in the city remained below the levels seen two weeks ago when Hurricane Helene arrived in the state.
The storm arrived in Florida on Wednesday night, bringing along winds as fast as 205 kph. While the hurricane brought its share of chaos, it wasn’t near a Category-5 hurricane that had threatened the state but went over the Gulf of Mexico.
