After making landfall earlier Wednesday night, Hurricane Milton brought flash flooding to several cities in Florida, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Venice. The meteorologist reported wind speeds of around 100 mph in most of these areas.

By 12:30 a.m. ET, the eye of the storm had moved inland, bringing heavy rains northeast to Orlando and Kissimmee. The storm's outer bands continued to sweep east, bringing strong winds to the Tampa Bay area.
