Florida begins recovery process after Milton


Florida begins recovery process with power still out for millions after Hurricane Milton

04:31

Satellite images show the extent of the damage from Hurricane Milton, which spawned tornadoes across Florida and struck the state as a Category 3 hurricane

The fatal storm surge that forecasters feared never arrived, but photos show heavy flooding, especially in coastal areas and on the state’s barrier islands. Homes were torn to pieces and power lines were ripped down by strong winds and heavy rain. 

One satellite image shows flooded streets in St. Armands Key, a barrier island near Sarasota.

At a condo building in Cortez, Florida, before-and-after photos show the extent of the damage. A photo taken in the aftermath of the storm shows a portion of the building’s roof ripped off, and debris scattered on the ground. The photo also shows flooding and other debris spread across the area.

Another before-and-after photo shows the devastation at Tropicana Field, the home stadium of the Tampa Bay Rays. Before the storm, the stadium had been used as a staging site for first responders. Heavy winds shredded the fabric roof of the building.

Photos show the massive gaps where the fabric that served as the domed building’s roof had been ripped to shreds. St. Petersburg Fire Rescue confirmed that there were no injuries in the incident. It was not immediately clear how much damage there was inside the stadium, but debris can be seen on the field.
