Convoy of Hope is on the ground in Florida. Volunteers in Perry, Florida, packed more than 3,000 bags of groceries for our Hurricane Milton response. Additional response vehicles deployed from our World Distribution Center two days ago so distributions can begin once it is safe to do so. In a state already vulnerable from Hurricane Helene, there will be great need all over Florida's Gulf Coast. Convoy of Hope is there to ensure people have what they need to begin recovery.
Hurricane Milton made landfall last night as a Category 3 hurricane in Siesta Key, about 70 miles south of Tampa. More than 3 million people are without power. With sustained winds of 120 mph at landfall, Milton tore the roof off of Tropicana Field, tossed debris through people's properties, and spun up several deadly tornadoes on the opposite side of the state. Milton brought 8 to 10 feet of storm surge in Sarasota County, and storm surge warnings were issued for much of the east-central coast
