24 hours of Hurricane Milton: How destructive was it? | About That

Hurricane Milton touched down in Florida spawning multiple tornadoes and destroying homes across the state. Andrew Chang breaks down what happened in the 24 hours leading up to Milton making landfall and explains how, despite still leaving a path of destruction, the storm wasn't as catastrophic as experts had anticipated.

CORRECTION (Oct. 11, 2024): A previous version of this video incorrectly said from 10:06 to 10:11 that Joseph Malinowski stayed on his boat in Tarpon Springs, Fla., during Hurricane Milton and mentioned that he was an experienced diver and captain. In fact, the mayor of Tampa Bay, Fla., said Malinowski was a sailor and was on his docked boat in that city during the storm. That part of the video has been trimmed.
