Hurricane Milton fury hits Florida, leaves millions without power

Hurricane Milton arrived at the US West Coast on Thursday bringing with itself inclement weather that has caused damage and mass power cuts in Florida. 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 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.
