Florida continues to recover from Hurricane Milton, with over 1.5 million without power and 17 confirmed fatalities. Gov. Ron DeSantis said efforts are underway to assist impacted areas, focusing on fuel distribution and providing resources. Tampa Bay avoided the worst-case storm surge, but heavy rains caused severe flooding. Major hurricanes can cause rivers, lakes, and creeks to swell for days or weeks after landfall due to the large amounts of rain. Rising water levels in the coming days are expected to pose a significant flood risk in low-lying areas of the county, according to officials.
