Hurricane Milton's devastating toll along Florida ’s Gulf Coast hit one of the most popular areas for snowbirds.

Milton landed on a barrier island in Sarasota County as a Category 3 hurricane.

The storm swamped coastal homes with mounds of sand, pushed water inland and caused tens of billions of dollars in privately insured losses.

Jim Lenz , 96 , believes the storms may give pause to some snowbirds’ winter plans.

“Some may give up on it. Others may decide, We just can’t stand the cold up here and we are going down,” he says.
