Hurricane Milton, which hit Florida overnight from Thursday to Friday, also caused a series of tornadoes and resulted in power outages in more than 1 million homes. This was reported by the AP agency.

Over one million homes and businesses were left without power overnight from Thursday to Friday in Florida. The highest number of outages was recorded in Sarasota County and neighboring Manatee County.

Earlier, meteorologists warned that Hurricane Milton has a third category and is moving at a speed of up to 160 km/h.

The first blow of the disaster was taken by Siesta Key, known for its sandy beaches, and the densely populated Tampa Bay area. As a result of the disaster, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Fort Myers were also affected.

Meteorologists predict the consequences of heavy rains that could cause flooding in regions near rivers and lakes.

Hurricane Milton, approaching the USA, could become one of the strongest storms in the country in a century. It is forecasted to cause serious consequences in the state of Florida.

US President Biden postponed his planned trips to Germany and Angola due to Hurricane Milton's predicted trajectory and strength.

Recall, as a result of Hurricane Helen, which stormed through America a few days ago, according to the latest data, more than two hundred people died, and hundreds are considered missing.
