Hurricane Milton Leaves a Trail of Destruction Across Florida

The devastation wrought by Hurricane Milton and its spawned tornadoes has been catastrophic, with reports of at least 14 fatalities and millions left without power. Cleanup efforts are underway as residents in areas like Fort Pierce and Palm Beach County face extensive damage, described by some as resembling a war zone. Tornado warnings were issued for several locations, including Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island, as the storm surged through the state, with footage showing tornadoes tearing apart buildings and uprooting debris. Authorities are conducting damage assessments in affected regions, with significant impacts reported at historic sites like Al's Family Farms and vital infrastructure such as the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. As recovery efforts commence, communities continue to grapple with the scope of destruction left in the wake of the storm.
