At 2 a.m. in Florida, the chaos continues as flash floods swamp central parts of the state, leaving streets, homes, and businesses submerged under several feet of water. Despite the storm beginning to move on, the danger hasn’t passed; floodwaters are expected to recede only gradually in the coming hours. Emergency responders are warning residents to stay indoors, as unpredictable currents and hidden hazards pose serious risks.
In the darkness, flooded streets turn into rivers, isolating neighborhoods and making even basic movement dangerous. First responders are out in force, but with vast areas underwater, the priority is safety—anyone venturing outside is taking a major gamble. For now, Floridians are urged to hunker down and await the first light to fully reveal Hurricane Milton’s overnight devastation.
