Florida governor says at least five dead after Hurricane Milton| BBC News


At least five people have died after Hurricane Milton lashed the US state of Florida, state Governor Ron DeSantis said.

DeSantis did not provide further details on the deaths, but earlier, officials from St Lucie County, on the east coast, confirmed four deaths in the area, which they said were the result of at least two tornadoes that hit before Milton itself arrived late on Wednesday.

The storm has caused widespread damage and destruction across the state, with more than three million homes and businesses left without power.

Some areas on the west coast saw 18in (45cm) of rain, and DeSantis said flooding remained possible in the coming days.
