Episode description

Today, more than 3 million homes and businesses in Florida have been left without power after Hurricane Milton tore through the centre of the state.

Adam is joined by Americast hosts Justin, Marianna and Sarah to discuss what we know about the scale of damage and destruction from the storm. And beyond the impact the hurricane has had on Florida residents, they discuss how the hurricane could affect the presidential race, and how misinformation about the storm has spread on social media.
