As of this morning, there are still 2.4 million people in Florida without power.


Officials have confirmed that 16 people are dead, a number that is expected to rise.


Milton has transitioned to a post-tropical cyclone.


The storm left a trail of destruction consisting of flooding, wind damage, a major storm surge and several tornadoes.


The area was hit by Hurricane Helene late last month which also caused widespread damage.


Several areas across the state experienced significant flooding including parts of Orlando, Saint Johns, and throughout Hillsborough County.


500 people were saved from one Clearwater apartment building alone, due to flooding in neck-deep water. Hillsborough County reported severe damage.
