Hurricane Milton is long gone, but the lingering effects from its torrential rains that measured over a foot in many areas of Florida are extending its impacts well into this week.

Rivers and streams continue to rise in Florida one week after deadly Hurricane Milton slammed the state with damaging winds and torrential rain. Many residents have been evacuated due to the water flowing into communities hit hard by the storm.
