SIESTA KEY, Fla. (TIP): Hurricane Milton plowed into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, October 10, after tearing a path of destruction across Florida, killing at least 14 people and knocking out power to millions, yet averting the “worst-case scenario” meteorologists, officials and residents had feared.

Milton did not go quietly, though, flooding neighborhoods, destroying homes, ripping the roof off a major sports venue, and toppling a massive crane into an office building. Two deaths were confirmed in St. Petersburg, four in Volusia County, and one each in Polk and Citrus counties, as well as six in St. Lucie County on Florida’s east coast following tornadoes there. Power outages inched higher during the day as the storm exited off the eastern coast of the state, and more than 2.6 million homes and businesses remained in the dark by late Thursday, according to poweroutage.us.
