Days after Hurricane Milton caused widespread damage to areas still rebuilding after Hurricane Ian two years ago, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday dismissed a suggestion that the state limit development in coastal areas vulnerable to dangerous tropical storms. Hurricane Milton made landfall near Sarasota Wednesday evening, bringing high winds, storm surge, and flooding to much of Florida’s west coast and central peninsula. The storm spun off tornadoes, claiming 17 lives, including at least five in St. Lucie County.
