Description

This week on The Florida Roundup, we look at the widespread damage and the loss of life from Hurricane Milton. First, we checked in with NPR’s Greg Allen from Clearwater (02:18 ), then we heard from WUSF’s Kerry Sheridan about the impact in Sarasota (08:47 ) before turning to CFPM’s Molly Duerig to look at flooding in Central Florida (10:58 ). Later, we spoke with WQCS’ Chris Puorro about the deadly tornadoes Milton produced that touched down in Port St. Lucie (17:00 ) and Rep. Toby Overdorf whose district includes areas of St. Lucie and Martin counties (21:37 ). Plus, we heard from Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis about filing claims in the wake of Helene and Milton (28:23 ). We also checked some recent claims related to FEMA funding with PolitiFact’s Katie Sanders (33:23 ) and heard the story of one St. Petersburg resident as they evacuated ahead of Milton (37:09 ).
