Water begins to recede from flooded streets in Tampa, Florida, due to Hurricane Milton on October 10, 2024.

All major highways and bridges in the Tampa Bay area have reopened. Airports across southwest Florida have also resumed normal operations, except for Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, which DeSantis said is expected to reopen Wednesday.

DeSantis said the state is working to address the need for fuel in heavily impacted areas. He said free fuel distribution depots have been opened in Plant City, Bradenton and St. Petersburg, and officials are in the process of opening more in Hillsborough County and Pinellas County.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Saturday that efforts are still underway to assist residents and provide resources to hard-hit areas across the state. Parts of western and central Florida continue to face the risk of significant flooding in creeks and rivers continue to rise.

Restoring power, clearing debris and distributing fuel are now the top priorities in Florida as the state continues to reel in the wake Hurricane Milton . More than 1.5 million are without power and at least 17 fatalities have been confirmed as recovery efforts continue into the weekend.

DeSantis said that while the Tampa Bay area was spared forecasters' worst-case scenario of storm surge up to 15 feet, strong winds caused considerable damage and heavy rain drove severe urban and inland flooding.
