The full extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Milton remains to be seen.
The hurricane caused storm surges, tornadoes, strong winds, heavy rain and flash flooding across Florida, and NBC is reporting 12 deaths.
Around three million properties have been without power, and authorities are working to restore that and fuel supply.
Reporter Dave Elias told Mike Hosking that they’ve had helicopters and drones out surveying, but much of the damage still remains to be seen.
He said the one good thing is that both the State and Federal Government were well prepared, with electrical crews set up and ready to go once the storm abated.
