Hurricane Milton brought powerful winds, a storm surge and flooding to much of Florida after making landfall along the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm.

It weakened to a Category 1 storm as it moved through Florida early Thursday.

Power outages were widespread, and four deaths have been reported from severe weather.

The storm comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated communities across the Southeast, including Tampa, Fla., which was hit hard by Milton.
