Four people have died in St Lucie, on Florida's east coast, after tornadoes hit the area. Hurricane Milton continues to move out into the Atlantic Ocean, but officials have warned that strong winds and rain remain on land.
Tampa's mayor says the city didn't experience the magnitude of the storm that was predicted, which saved many lives. But storm warnings are still in effect across the state.
Florida Gov. DeSantis said there are still 3.1 million people without power in the state, with 635,000 restorations completed since Hurricane Milton hit.
Florida's governor adds that many schools across the state remain closed, but those that were not in the direct path of the storm are likely to open tomorrow.
Kevin Guthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management warned people not to visit affected areas as it could hinder first responders.
Guthrie also mentions that the government has over 20 urban search and rescue teams ready to move into the area and conduct door-to-door searches.
“We're going to have to get out there and go door to door and make sure everyone is OK. So please stay off the road ," he says.
