TAMPA, Fla. — Hurricane Milton brought damaging impacts to the Tampa Bay area after making landfall Wednesday night near Siesta Key.
High winds, flooding and storm surge left residents and businesses without power. As of Sunday morning, just under 1 million Floridians do not have electricity — that includes many gas stations in the Bay area.
As recovery efforts begin, it's important to know where you can get fuel while trying to assimilate back into day-to-day routines.
