Nearly two million Floridians are without power after Hurricane Milton hit the Sunshine State late Wednesday less than two weeks since Hurricane Helene 's devastation. Over 1.901 million outages have been reported in Florida as of 11 p.m. ET Wednesday, according to the USA TODAY power outage tracker.

Residents face an uphill battle as they rebuild from the back-to-back storms that devastated Florida communities.

Residents in Florida are still struggling with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton with runoff from the heavy rainfall making its way into rivers and flooding inland communities. More than one million customers across the state are still without power in addition to gas shortages across the region.
