The dreaded passage of Hurricane Milton, which crossed the state of Florida in the United States, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, caused the death of 16 people and made $ 100 billion in damage.
At least 16 people died in the night from Wednesday to Thursday during the passage of Hurricane Milton, which caused significant destruction in the state of Florida (United States), already struck just two weeks ago by Hurricane Helene, reported CBS News, citing the authorities.
Although Milton did not cause the expected disaster, he has done many damage and clearing operations could take several weeks, even months in certain areas.
$ 100 billion in damage
Analysts estimate that Milton could cost insurers up to $ 100 billion. The White House has promised the government’s help while the extent of the damage is still being evaluated.
3 million households and private electricity shops
Some 3.1 million households and businesses remained deprived of electricity on Thursday evening, according to the governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, who estimated during a press point that, although the worst scenario was avoided, the damage remained considerable.
