Hurricane Milton residents were rescued from flooded buildings in Florida.

Aerial footage shows the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Aviation Section assisting locals trapped in their homes with a lifeboat on October 10. The video also captured submerged vehicles in the area.

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

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.
