Hurricane Milton has barreled down upon Florida, and it's brought with it high winds, tornadoes, floods, and more.

According to reports, at least 9 people have been confirmed killed. More than 3 million homes and businesses in Florida were without power after the storm made landfall near Siesta Key. The roof of Tropicana Field, home to the Tampa Bay Rays, also got ripped off due to the harsh winds.

At the time of this writing, Hurricane Milton is moving northeast off Florida's coast. However, the National Hurricane Center says it's "still producing damaging hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall."

And following the devastating impact Hurricane Helene had on Floridians, many are wondering what we can do to help those now impacted by Milton. We've listed various organizations and non-profits you can donate to, whether monetary donations, supplies, etc.
