Florida residents are being warned not to visit areas hit by Hurricane Milton, after it brought tornadoes, floods, and storm surges to the state. More than three million homes and businesses are without power, while Governor Ron DeSantis says more flooding is expected in coming days. Four people were killed by tornadoes on the state's east coast in St Lucie County. In St Petersburg, on the west coast, the water supply has been cut, a crane crashed into a newspaper building, and the roof of a Major League Baseball stadium was ripped off. Milton is moving into the Atlantic, but will still produce hurricane-force winds and heavy rain over land.
