Milton, Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key in Sarasota County. It moved quickly across Central Florida overnight, producing significant flooding and damaging winds near its path. The storm did bring much destruction and damage. Tornadoes, ravaged parts of the East coast of the state, flooding occurred on the West and East Coast, and strong winds lashed the state, especially in Pinellas, Hillsboro, Manatee, and Sarasota counties. We had over 80,000 people that were into shelters overnight as the storm hit the state. We will better understand the extent of the damage as the day progresses. And you have people that are out there assessing damage right now. First responders have been working all through the night to help people who are in distress. And what we can say is the storm was significant. But, thankfully, this was not the worst case scenario. I couldn't even sleep for a full 2 hours. I woke up, like every 30 minutes. But I'm just glad we're out and to safety and to where we can charge up our phones because I don't have any power. Because of my family is probably gonna wondering where I'm at. The funny thing is we thought the storm was over, when you looked at the radar, the back side, we knew we were kind of in the eye, but we thought the worst was over because there was nothing really radar wise on the back side. And the second half was the worst. That's where our walls were flexing on our house. We didn't know how we were going to do. I think when you're from Florida, you don't expect that it's going to be as bad. You know what I mean? We've been through a hundreds, Well, not hundreds, but we've been through a bunch of them. And they've never been this bad, so you kind of think it's going to be the same. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"More Than Three Million Without Power as Hurricane Milton Slams Florida, Causing Deaths and Flooding","description":"Hurricane Milton barreled into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after plowing across Florida, where it knocked out power to more than 3 million people and whipped up 150 tornadoes.
