A British expat has been forced to cook outside as winds of over 100 miles per our hammer into the Sunshine State.
Hurricane Milon, which has caused at least 27 tornados to hit the state of Florida, has left over three million homes without power.
Jan, who now lives Palmetto, Florida, is among the millions who have been affected.
Speaking about the Hurricane which hit on Wednesday evening, the 68-yer-old, who did not give her surname, said: ““The power went out about 9pm.
“Something hit the house at 9.30pm and we’ve lost tiles from the roof.”
She added: “I got this emergency radio about three or four months ago and was telling us what was happening as it was going on – the wind was going up to about 101 miles an hour and I think up until midnight, we had about 10 inches of rain.”
She recalled all the fire alarms in her house going off. She said: “the one in the bedroom was dripping water – the cats were running around crying and scared because of the noise.””
Jan, originally from Edmonton in north London, has been left with no internet or power, unsure of when it will return. She is also unable to use most of her appliances, leaving her with no choice but to rely on using a grill outside to cook her meals.
