Hurricane Milton, which recently hit Florida, has resulted in a series of tornadoes causing significant damage and casualties in the state. Governor Ron DeSantis provided updates on the situation during an interview on Thursday morning.
Reports indicate that the tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Milton have led to confirmed casualties in St. Lucie County, with four individuals reported dead. First responders have been actively engaged in rescue operations throughout the night, managing to save numerous lives amidst the chaos.
Governor DeSantis expressed gratitude for the successful rescues carried out by both state and local partners. The aftermath of Hurricane Milton has left over 3 million people in Florida without power, highlighting the widespread impact of the storm.
Despite the devastation caused by the tornadoes, there was some relief as the storm veered south of Tampa, preventing a potentially catastrophic storm surge in the area. Governor DeSantis emphasized the importance of continued vigilance and support for affected communities as recovery efforts begin.
The full extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Milton is yet to be fully assessed, with authorities working diligently to provide assistance and aid to those in need. As the state grapples with the aftermath of the storm, unity and resilience remain key in overcoming the challenges posed by natural disasters.
