As most of you know, two hurricanes recently hit the state of Florida, also known as The Sunshine State. The first hurricane, Helene, hit on Sept. 26, ending on Sept. 29. The second one, Milton, went on from Oct. 9 until Oct. 12.

With over 230 fatalities and about 100 missing people, Hurricane Helene has been named the third most deadly hurricane of the 21st century. Helene was a category 4 hurricane, spreading over six states: Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. Then there’s Hurricane Milton. Milton left 35 fatalities along with six people missing. Milton had only gone through Florida and was a category 3 hurricane.

The suspected cause of Hurricane Helene was because of the hot waters in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.  Milton is a long lasting tropical distriburbance, which is essentially a less powerful hurricane. 

The aftermath that Hurricane Helen went through is crazy. Helene went through over 6.1 million acres of land including states other than Florida. The cost of all the wreckage was estimated to be around $530 billion. Next up is Hurricane Milton with excessive flooding and tornadoes, causing power outages. Along with severe damage to buildings in the area. Milton caused around $50 billion in damages.
