Hurricane Milton cut a destructive path across Florida that spawned tornadoes, killed at least 10 people, and left millions without power.
While Governor Ron DeSantis said the state had avoided the “worst-case scenario,” he cautioned the damage was still significant and flooding remained a concern.
