Milton's Surprise Was the Damage Unleashed by Powerful Winds.

Hurricane Milton has caused significant damage in Florida, resulting in at least 10 deaths, widespread power outages, and destruction of homes and crops. The storm's 120 mph winds caused more damage than the storm surge, with a crane being tossed into a building and the roof of a sports stadium being shredded. Milton also triggered a severe tornado outbreak on the eastern side of the state. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but losses are estimated to be in the billions of dollars. President Joe Biden has promised swift action and urged Congress to provide resources for recovery efforts. Some businesses, such as Comcast's Orlando theme parks and Walt Disney Co.'s World Resort, are preparing to reopen. Ports in Florida remain closed, and there are concerns about damaged crops and residual flooding, including sewage contamination. Homeowners are assessing damage and helping their neighbors.
