Flash flood warnings were issued in western and central Florida by officials due to a combination of persistent rain and a powerful storm surge.
As daylight dwindled, storm surge along the western Florida coast started to increase, and Hurricane Milton made landfall with damaging winds and heavy rains that raised the possibility of significant flooding.
Shortly after Milton's center touched down close to Sarasota, flood gauges along the coast at Fort Myers and Naples Bay showed rapidly rising water levels. Forecasters issued a warning about the potentially fatal surge, which was predicted to reach up to 13 feet in some places, such as Boca Grande on the westernmost tip of the peninsula.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration states that storm surge refers to the sudden, dramatic rise in water levels that occurs during a storm.

00:09As daylight dwindled, storm surge along the western Florida coast started to increase,
00:15and Hurricane Milton made landfall with damaging winds and heavy rains that raised the possibility of significant flooding.
00:22Shortly after Milton Center touched down close to Sarasota,
00:26flood gauges along the coast at Fort Myers and Naples Bay showed rapidly rising water levels.

00:44The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration states that storm surge refers to the sudden, dramatic rise in water levels that occurs during a storm.
00:54Forecasters had earlier warned that a dangerous storm surge combined with the tide
01:00will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline.
01:07An uncommon alert known as a flash flood emergency,
01:10which is issued in situations where flooding is predicted to cause significant harm and endanger human life,
01:16was issued by authorities in Tampa Bay.
01:19Since storm surge has been linked to several fatalities in previous storms,
01:23officials have focused especially on it in relation to this hurricane.
01:27For instance, storm surge was blamed for 41 deaths during Hurricane Ian in 2022.
01:34Pictures shared on social media prior to Milton's arrival showed the beginning of the impending flood,
01:40with water starting to lap over roads and sidewalks.
01:44In certain videos, the light from buildings rushed across streets and into buildings,
01:49reflecting brilliantly off the water against the night's darkness.
