The Impact of Hurricane Milton
Hurricane Milton has caused extensive damage in Florida, with devastating winds leading to power outages and casualties. Reports describe the extraordinary destruction brought about by tornadoes spawned by the hurricane, particularly in areas like St. Lucie. Residents from lower-income neighborhoods faced significant challenges, with some families wondering where they would sleep after losing their homes. The timely evacuation orders appeared effective, resulting in a notably lower loss of life compared to previous storms, but the devastation still left deep emotional and financial scars on the affected communities.
