Kardetud hävingut USA-s Florida osariigis ei tulnud, kuna Milton, mis kardeti olevat 5. kategooria orkaan sisenes maismaale Sarasota linna lähedal 3. kategooria tormina.
Veetase tõusis, aga mitte 5 meetrit nagu ennustati vaid paarkümmend sentimeetrit, nii et isegi tavalise sõiduautoga pääses ringi sõitma.
See tähendab vaid mõningaid purustusi, aga mitte hävingut nagu ennustati. Rohkem kahju tegid tornaadod, mis orkaaniga kaasas käisid.
Maismaal taandus Milton 2. kategooria troopiliseks tormiks.
Nn sajandi orkaani hirmus evakueeriti Floridast miljonid inimesed.
