Hurricane Milton churned up the Manatee River in Bradenton, Florida.

Footage shows strong waves battering the area on October 10. Another clip reveals powerful winds and heavy rain slamming homes. The next day, boats were seen scattered up to 100 yards away from their original positions.

Three Florida offices of the National Weather Service in Miami, Tampa, and Melbourne issued more than 130 tornado warnings associated with the storm.

Hurricane Milton made landfall on Wednesday on Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing powerful winds, a dangerous storm surge, and potential flooding to many areas of the state.

The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said the cyclone had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (205 kph) when it struck Siesta Key, Florida, at 8:30 pm. Officials have confirmed at least 16 fatalities related to the storm.

The region is still reeling from the damage inflicted by Hurricane Helene.
