Late Wednesday evening, Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 hurricane, bringing devastating wind and rain along with it. According to the Associated Press, the storm cut power to more than 3 million people and churned out some 150 tornadoes across the state, portions of which are still reeling from Hurricane Helene, which impacted the state mere days ago. So far, it is being blamed for at least four deaths in the state.
“We will better understand the extent of the damage as the day progresses,” Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a press conference. “We’ve got more to do, but we will absolutely get through this.”
While the extent of the damage is still unknown, there are already wide calls for assistance throughout the state. Here’s how you can help those in Florida today and for the weeks to come.
