As darkness descended, a powerful storm surged onto Florida’s Gulf Coast, bringing with it deadly tornadoes and severe flooding that left millions without power and devastated communities.

Hurricane Milton, classified as a Category 3 storm, made landfall near Siesta Key in Sarasota County, Florida, at approximately 8:30 p.m. on October 10.
