The start of “snowbird” season in Florida is only weeks away, but many Florida Gulf Coast beaches, regularly voted some of the best in the United States, are closed to the public because of the devastation from Hurricane Milton two weeks ago.

CBS News flew over Siesta Key, just west of Sarasota, with the Florida National Guard Friday, where Milton made landfall Wednesday night as a Category 3 hurricane. From above the devastation seemed limitless,

Simpson estimated that Milton alone caused between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion in damages. This comes on top of over $1.5 billion already sustained from hurricanes Idalia, Debby, and Helene, which hit Florida in rapid succession over the past year.
