Millions in Florida Remain Without Power as Hurricane Milton Death Toll Climbs to 16

HeadlineOct 11, 2024

In Florida, more than 2.5 million customers remained without power this morning as the damage from Hurricane Milton became clearer: at least 16 people killed, widespread wind and water damage to homes and businesses, and “severe” levels of erosion that will permanently alter Florida’s coastline. The Fitch Ratings group warns Milton could cause Florida property owners up to $50 billion in insured losses. This is Calvin Lee Hamilton, a resident of St. Lucie County on Florida’s Atlantic coast, where tornadoes spawned by Milton tore through a retirement community, killing six people.

Calvin Lee Hamilton: “I tried to get prepared for the hurricane. Then the tornado hit. I’m like, the tornado hit before the hurricane. This is a double disaster.”
