Hurricane Milton’s rampage has left central Florida in a blackout nightmare, with over 2.6 million homes plunged into darkness overnight. Streets and neighborhoods across the region are in total blackout, turning once familiar areas into shadowy hazards with high winds and rising floodwaters adding to the danger. For countless families, this power outage means no lights, no air conditioning, and no way to communicate, intensifying the chaos and fear gripping Florida.
Emergency crews are stretched thin, working around the clock to assess and repair the damage, but with floodwaters still high, restoring power is a challenge that may take days. Milton’s impact has already proved devastating, and with widespread outages compounding the crisis, millions are bracing for what could be a long, uncertain recovery.
