State assesses damage after hurricane knocked out power to millions, spawned deadly tornadoes
Florida residents awoke Thursday to the devastation from Hurricane Milton, which ripped through the Tampa area, barreled across the state and spawned deadly tornadoes before spinning out into the Atlantic.
Five people were killed after tornadoes touched down in St. Lucie County on Florida’s east coast, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the storm’s total death toll was at least 10.
