Florida, amid the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton

In Florida, officials say they are continuing to assess the damage caused by Hurricane Milton. On the other hand, residents who have returned to their homes have only found destruction. Meteorologists believe at least 38 tornadoes that hit the area may be related to Hurricane Milton.

Residents in Florida are still reeling from the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton. Osvaldo Cruz, who lives in Grove City, is assessing the damage to his home, days after the hurricane hit the Florida coast.

"Total destruction. There is total destruction and chaos here... As you can see on the first floor everything is destroyed. There should have been a wall here, but there isn't anymore. The garage door was there, now it's gone," he says.

Many other residents have only destruction before their eyes. Osvaldo Cruz says that after what they went through with Hurricane Milton, he is already thinking about other options.

"Here was a nice, quiet neighborhood to live in. We loved the view. We like fishing. It was a very nice neighborhood. But now, after this experience, we have to put things in perspective and see if it's worth it or not," he says.

Milton caused at least 10 deaths after making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum winds of 125 miles per hour, ripping through central Florida, flooding islands and spawning deadly tornadoes.

Officials say the death toll could have been higher had there not been multiple evacuations. Tampa, which has a high population concentration, was spared a direct hit.

Meteorologists believe at least 38 tornadoes that hit the area may be related to Hurricane Milton. The National Weather Service is in the process of reviewing the preliminary reports and this is a process that could last for weeks./ VOA
