L’ouragan Milton a touché terre ce mercredi en frappant la côte ouest de la Floride, près de la ville de Sarasota. Il a été rétrogradé en catégorie 3 (sur une échelle de 5), et des rafales dépassant les 200 km/h se sont accompagnées de pluies torrentielles. Des tornades, qui ont précédé l’arrivée de l’ouragan, ont quant à elles fait plusieurs victimes dans un lotissement pour retraités à Fort Pierce, a fait savoir le shérif du comté de St Lucie.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Milton crashed into Florida as a Category 3 storm Wednesday, pounding the coast with ferocious winds of over 100 mph (160 kph), heavy rain and producing a series of tornadoes around the state. Tampa avoided a direct hit.

The cyclone had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (205 kph) as it made landfall at 8:30 p.m. near Siesta Key, the National Hurricane Center said. Siesta Key is a prosperous strip of white-sand beaches home to 5,500 people about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Tampa.

More than 1.5 million homes and businesses were without power Wednesday night in Florida, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utility reports. The highest number of outages were in Hardee County, as well as neighboring Sarasota and Manatee counties.

Before Milton even made landfall, tornados were touching down across the state. The Spanish Lakes Country Club near Fort Pierce, on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, was hit particularly hard, with homes destroyed and some residents killed. “We have lost some life,” St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson told WPBF News, though he wouldn’t say how many people were killed. The Tampa Bay area has not taken a direct hit from a major hurricane in more than a century, but the storm was still bringing a potentially deadly storm surge to much of Florida’s Gulf Coast, including densely populated areas such as Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Fort Myers.

Le maire du Carbet en Martinique, Jean-Claude Ecanville, témoigne des dégâts causés par les manifestations contre la vie chère dans sa commune : «Ces manifestations contre la vie chère sont des manifestations pérennes».
