Milton slams Florida: Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida, as a dangerous Category 3 storm and weakened to a Category 1 as it cut through the state and moved offshore.  Deadly tornado outbreak: Four people have so far been confirmed dead in St. Lucie County following tornadoes there, county officials said. The state is anticipating more casualties, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis.  

A thousand-year flood: Milton dropped more than 18 inches of rain on St. Petersburg, representing a more than a 1-in-1000-year rainfall event for the area. 

Power outages and destructive wind: Milton, the third hurricane to hit Florida this year, has knocked out power for more than 3 million people in the state. Wind gust of 100 mph was recorded near Tampa. Milton ripped off the roof of Tropicana Field, which was set to be a makeshift shelter for first responders. 

With all she had, Hurricane Helene slammed int Florida's coast late Thursday night, dumping heavy rain, forcing water rescues, and leaving millions without power.

Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane about 11:10 p.m. ET near Perry, Florida, with 140 mph winds, the National Hurricane Center reported.

The storm, which now marks the first known Category 4 storm to hit Florida’s Big Bend region since records began in 1851, weakened to a tropical storm early Friday morning as it barreled through Georgia, causing life-threatening flooding in Atlanta and the Carolinas. As of the 11 am, Tropical Storm Helene was 30 miles south of Bryson City, North Carolina, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, moving north at 32 mph. 

In Tampa Bay, one resident described seeing vanished beaches, boats crashed into homes, and businesses on fire.

"Complete devastation and loss here," Vikki Hudson, who lives in Largo, about three miles from the coast told USA TODAY Friday. "The beaches are gone. Everything is underwater. Boats piled on top of houses and yards."

Hudson said she saw Gulf Boulevard, which runs the St. Petersburg coastline north to Clearwater, "completely underwater."

Hudson, who lives about 20 minutes from her two businesses at Treasure Island Beach − The Island Girl Tiki Bar and The Island Girl Beach Rentals − said she has not been able to check on her business as bridges are closed due to widespread flooding.

"We don’t know anything yet, we cannot get to any of the barrier islands," Hudson said.
