Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Florida is prepared to deal with Hurricane Milton and its aftermath, as almost 40,000 utility linemen are either in the state or on their way to help.

Hurricane Milton is a Category 4 storm as of Tuesday morning and is set to make landfall in Florida as early as Wednesday evening. DeSantis noted that his state is one of several that just had to deal with Hurricane Helene, expressing thanks that the state has made “a big dent” in its cleanup efforts on Helene’s debris.
