- (ASSOCIATED PRESS) Hundreds of Florida residents were rescued Thursday from the aftermath of Hurricane Milton after the storm smashed through coastal communities where it tore homes into pieces, filled streets with mud and spawned a barrage of tornadoes that killed at least five.
Arriving just two weeks after the misery wrought by Hurricane Helene, the system also knocked out power to more than 3 million customers, flooded barrier islands, tore the roof off a baseball stadium and toppled a construction crane.
But many people also expressed relief that Milton wasn't worse. The hurricane spared Tampa a direct hit, and the lethal storm surge that scientists feared never materialized.
The storm tracked to the south in the final hours and made landfall late Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane in Siesta Key, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Tampa. Damage was widespread, and water levels may continue to rise for days, but Gov. Ron DeSantis said it was not “the worst-case scenario.”
“You face two hurricanes in a couple of weeks - not easy to go through - but I’ve seen a lot of resilience throughout this state,” the governor said at a briefing in Sarasota. He said he was "very confident that this area is going to bounce back very, very quickly.”

Why were cranes left in the area??
there wasn’t time to remove it
Those dont come down quickly. They can only secure them the best they can.
I’d love to see more stories on the Gators in town.

Nahum:1.2
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies.
Nahum:1.3
The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

Florida sucks so bad.
Standing water can also result in things like Ron DeSantis who is an awful bacteria and truly one of the nastiest bugs in America.
