Palmetto, Florida. (October 30, 2024): As Florida’s National Guard completes its duties helping Floridians recover from Hurricane Milton, the extent of their efforts is coming into view. In the above photo, Army Private First Class Victoria N. Torres, assigned to Charlie Battery, 3rd Battalion, 265th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, welcomes a spontaneous hug from a toddler while patrolling a neighborhood to reassure residents before the storm.

Newly released statistics reveal the extent of efforts by National Guard troopers to rescue their neighbors after this devastating hurricane. According to the National Weather Service, Milton came ashore packing winds of 105 mph that generated a six-foot storm surge and spawned forty-six tornadoes as it raced through the center of the state. The tornadoes, the most in one day in 70 years, killed six people while causing an estimated thirty-four billion dollars in damage.
