Authorities in Florida said Friday that Hurricane Milton was responsible for at least 16 deaths, and that more than 2 million people remain without power as evacuees returned to their homes to assess the damage and begin cleaning up.

The storm made landfall late Wednesday near Siesta Key in Sarasota County as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 205 kilometers per hour. It carved a path of destruction across central Florida, affecting many communities still cleaning up from Hurricane Helene two weeks earlier.

The hurricane plowed across the state, prompting authorities to issue flash flood emergencies, before the center of the storm emerged over the Atlantic Ocean a few hours before sunrise Thursday. #Florida #hurricanemilton #reels #videography #voanews
