Drone video shows devastation along Florida’s coast following Hurricane Milton
Dramatic photos show how deadly Hurricane Milton reshaped the Florida coastline — with some sections of iconic beaches now split in half.“As storms like Milton move ashore, they’re pumping sand and water much further inland than what we’re used to. But because there’s been so much storm surge, as things start to recede, everything starts to reverse and get pushed back out,” Fox Forecast Center meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post.
“Just looking at the coastline, it looks like they’ve gained a little bit more sand in that region, which makes sense because they’ve had back-to-back storms, Helena and Milton, which have been pushing that sand further inland,” Braud said. “As the water drains out, it may cut a new channel,” Braud said. “As the water moves out, it tries to find any way possible to navigate out.”“This is the most severe level of coastal change,” the US Geological Survey warned — while saying that “Milton’s waves and surge” could cause “erosion and overwash” to 100% of the state’s beaches.Hurricane Milton joined a long list of destructive storms that have changed the Florida coastline, including Hurricanes Ian, Irma, Matthew and Michael.
