Florida residents assess damage and begin recovery after Hurricane Milton

Residents in Florida are cleaning up after Hurricane Milton, which caused significant damage and flooding. At least eight people died, but many are relieved the storm missed densely populated areas like Tampa. Over 2.5 million customers remain without power. The hurricane made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Siesta Key, damaging homes and infrastructure. Many residents are returning to assess the damage, but fuel shortages complicate recovery efforts. Some families, like the Ducre family, are left without homes and uncertain about their next steps. Florida's tourism industry is beginning to recover, with major theme parks and Orlando International Airport reopening. Despite the challenges, some visitors are making the best of extended stays due to flight delays caused by the storm.
