What to know as Florida residents begin cleaning up after Hurricane Milton

Cleanup from Hurricane Milton was underway Friday as residents returned home after the storm barreled across Florida, spawning tornadoes, knocking out power to millions, damaging homes and leading to hundreds of rescues.

At least 10 people died in the storm, and there was significant damage in areas, but Milton wasn't as bad as had been feared. Flooding from Milton’s heavy rains was still causing problems as rescues of people and animals stranded in rising waters continued.

Gov. Ron DeSantis warned people not to let down their guard and to be aware of hazards, including downed power lines and flooded areas.

The storm roared into Florida mid-week as some communities were still dealing with damage from devastating Hurricane Helene two weeks ago. President Joe Biden was set to visit areas impacted by Milton on Sunday.
