Hurricane Milton's Devastation and Recovery Efforts in Florida The state of Florida is gradually recovering from the destructive path of Hurricane Milton, which swept across the region as a major storm earlier in the week. The storm's impact on airports and theme parks has started to subside, with many receiving clearance to reopen their doors to travelers.
As air travel begins to resume, several airports in the state have reopened their gates. Tampa International Airport (TPA) was one of the first to waive off its first flight on Friday morning, three days after suspending operations in anticipation of the storm. However... the airport's reopening was tempered by the acknowledgment that "extreme wind gusts and heavy rainfall from the Category 3 storm impacted several areas of the airport campus that will need repairs." Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) also reopened on Friday morning, having closed its doors on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Orlando International Airport (MCO) took a slightly longer route to recovery, reopening to domestic arrivals on Thursday night and to both departures and international flights on Friday morning. In addition to airport reopenings, theme parks are also starting to welcome visitors back. While some attractions may still be closed or operating on reduced hours, many are working to restore normal operations.
For travelers seeking updated information on the status of national parks and other tourist attractions in Florida... Visit Florida has posted resources and updates from the state's Emergency Response Team. These resources provide guidance on openings and closures, as well as essential tips for navigating the recovery process following the hurricane.
As the recovery efforts continue, it is clear that Hurricane Milton's impact on Florida will be felt for some time to come. Nevertheless, the state's resilience and determination to bounce back are already beginning to bear fruit, with airports, "theme parks," "and other attractions slowly starting to reopen their doors to the public."
Large swaths of Florida were recovering on Friday after Hurricane Milton swept through as a major storm with airports and theme parks starting to reopen. Florida tourism site Visit Florida has also posted resources for travelers including updates from the state's Emergency Response Team as well as openings and closures for national parks.
