The powerful Category 3 hurricane made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on Wednesday night with 120 mph winds.

LITHIA, Fla. -- Florida residents slogged through flooded streets, gathered up scattered debris and assessed damage to their homes on Friday after Hurricane Milton smashed through coastal communities and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.

Milton could thrust 15 feet of surge across parts of Florida’s coast between Fort Myers Beach and Crystal River before crossing the state and bringing up to 5 feet of surge to parts of the east coast.
