Impact of Hurricane Milton

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm, causing significant destruction, including the ripping off of part of the roof at Tropicana Field. The hurricane's powerful winds and heavy rains resulted in almost three million people losing power and spawned tornadoes that led to fatalities at a retirement community. The storm's aftermath has raised concerns about an imminent shortage of IV fluids, as key production facilities were damaged and are located in areas still at risk from severe weather. Hospitals have started rationing these essential fluids for vulnerable patients, prompting U.S. officials to arrange for an airlift of supplies from abroad.
