Recovering and Preparing: Navigating Hurricane Milton’s Aftermath in Florida
As Hurricane Milton barreled through the Sunshine State, its impact was felt far and wide. While the storm made landfall on Florida’s west coast as a powerful Category 3 hurricane, its effects extended to the east coast, where Brevard County, Indian River, and neighboring areas faced significant destruction. High winds, tornadoes, and torrential rains left downed power lines, uprooted trees, and once-beautiful landscapes in disarray.
