Hurricane Milton hit Florida as a powerful Category 3 hurricane, bringing storm surge, heavy rains, winds and tornadoes. Milton is one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the area in decades. At least four people have died, and millions are without electricity. This storm is particularly devastating because many communities were only beginning to recover from Hurricane Helene, which hit the Southeast just two weeks ago.  

With your help, Lutheran Disaster Response will be there to support people affected by Milton, Helene and any other storms that may strike this season. Working alongside the Florida-Bahamas Synod and other partners, Lutheran Disaster Response will continue to respond.
