On October 9th, 2024, Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida as a formidable Category 3 storm leaving a trail of destruction across Central Florida. With winds reaching 120 mph, torrential rain, and widespread tornadoes and flooding, the storm caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure in its path. Over 3 million customers faced power outages, and tragically, the storm claimed 16 lives. Neighborhoods such as The Villages, Summerfield, Ocala, and Leesburg experienced widespread power outages coupled with significant storm damage; many homes suffered roof leaks, shingle loss, and structural compromise.
