(NEXSTAR) — Just weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of the Florida coast, many of the same areas now face damage from the impact of Hurricane Milton.
The Category 3 storm made landfall late Wednesday in Siesta Key, about 70 miles south of Tampa.

Milton barreled into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after plowing across Florida, where it knocked out power to more than 3 million customers, whipped up 150 tornadoes and compounded the misery wrought by Helene.
