More than two million homes are without power in Florida after Hurricane Milton made landfall on Wednesday night.
Described by President Joe Biden as “the storm of the century” it brought winds of up to 120mph and life-threatening storm surges and flooding.
It came less than two weeks after the category four Hurricane Helen hit the north of the state.
