Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key just south of Tampa Bay at around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, moved across the state overnight, and exited the east coast near Cape Canaveral at 5 a.m. Thursday.
Milton was still a Category 1 hurricane and will continue to bring heavy rain and damaging wind on his back side for several more hours as it begins to trail away from Florida. Its path will take it east over the Atlantic, which Milton will deteriorate to a tropical storm, then fizzle out.
