TAMPA, Fla — Hurricane Milton left everyone in and around Tampa with many emotions and thoughts. One group we don't usually hear from is the children impacted by the storm—until now.
Dr. Rewa Chisholm, a 5th grade teacher at Cambridge Christian School, had students write letters to Hurricane Milton. Students shared how they felt before, during, and after the hurricane.
One student writes "Water was leaking into my room. We prayed to God."
Most students hoped to never hear from Milton again. One student wrote "Please stay out in the ocean and not cause anymore damage."

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
