Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key on Wednesday night as a Category 3 storm, bringing extreme rainfall, high winds, and widespread power outages.

It could become one of the most destructive storms on record for Florida’s Gulf Coast. Its disastrous impacts are being felt over much of the state.
