PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- At least 13 fatalities have been reported in connection with Hurricane Milton, which roared onshore on Florida's west coast as a Category 3 hurricane, bringing tornadoes, powerful winds and flooding rains.

The monster storm forced millions to evacuate and left widespread destruction across Florida.

Four American Red Cross volunteers from southeastern Pennsylvania have packed their bags and hit the road to bring supplies to the Sunshine State, including food, toiletries, and care kits.
