Florida faced dangerous extreme weather as Hurricane Milton approached the coast. Here are some of the most striking videos.

A weakening but still powerful Hurricane Milton barreled into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after plowing across Florida, pounding cities with ferocious winds and rain, whipping up a barrage of tornadoes and causing an unknown numbers of deaths.

The storm made landfall Wednesday night in Siesta Key, about 70 miles south of Tampa, as a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of about 120 mph.

It weakened to a Category 1 storm early Thursday, driving winds of 85 mph as it moved inland across the state.

Here's a look at the damage in videos.
