Hurricane Milton tracker: Monster storm pummels Florida after landfall

There are 1,402,307 customers without power across Florida after Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm, according to poweroutage.us.

A possible tornado caused "significant damage" in Port Salerno, Martin County Fire Rescue said on X while sharing photos of the destruction.

"It’s estimated that dozens of homes have been damaged, some severely," it said.

Injuries ranging from minor to serious have also been reported, according to Martin County Fire Rescue. No fatalities have been reported at this time, it added.

President Joe Biden will "continue to receive updates from his team throughout the night" as Milton moves across the Florida peninsula, the White House said.

Biden called several officials in Florida Wednesday before landfall, including the mayors of Sarasota and Orlando, telling them to "call him directly" if they need assistance, the White House said.

"STOP: Do not walk out into receding water in Tampa Bay - the water WILL return through storm surge and poses a life-threatening risk," the Florida Division of Emergency Management wrote in an update Wednesday night.
