The storm did not trigger a catastrophic storm surge that was feared but the damage remains significant
Hurricane Milton cut a destructive path across Florida that spawned tornadoes, killed at least 10 people, and left millions without power.
While Governor Ron DeSantis said the state had avoided the “worst-case scenario,” he cautioned the damage was still significant and flooding remained a concern.
Here are some of the images in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton:
