Navigation Florida courts weather Hurricane Milton with only minor damage reported as facilities reopen
With many facilities reopening Monday, Florida courts appear to have avoided “catastrophic” damage from Hurricane Milton, the second major storm in less than two weeks, according to the Office of the State Courts Administrator.
OSCA continues to receive information from across the state, but so far, it has only logged minor flooding and a few leaky roofs or windows.
Hurricane Milton made landfall last Thursday at Siesta Key some 70 miles south of Tampa Bay, bringing Category 3 winds and a double-digit storm surge. The National Weather Service recorded 18.3 inches of rain in a 24-hour period in the St. Petersburg area.
