The death toll from Hurricane Milton, which struck the US state of Florida, has risen to 16.
The American authorities explained - in a statement reported by Al-Hurra satellite channel on Saturday - that the hurricane flooded roads in large areas of the state.
US President Joe Biden estimated the value of the massive material losses caused by the hurricane at $50 billion, pointing out that “Milton” may be one of the most devastating hurricanes in a century in the American state.
