[Regnum] A Persuader patrol aircraft of the Mexican Navy spotted a fisherman drifting on an overturned boat 100 km off the coast of Mexico. This was reported by the press service of the Mexican Navy.
"Our search and rescue system has located a person on board a boat that was drifting after Hurricane Milton. Personnel from the Yucalpeten search and rescue station have been dispatched to the site to rescue the sailor," the department said on social media.
Mexican navy has released a video showing a fisherman sitting on an overturned boat in the open sea.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Hurricane Milton hit the coast of Florida on the evening of October 9. The elements caused powerful tornadoes. Several people became victims of the emergency. The wind speed reached 195 km/h. Heavy rains also fell in Florida, and in a few hours the level of precipitation exceeded the multi-month norm.
By the morning of October 10, about 2.7 million people in Florida were without power, with more than 2.68 million customers experiencing power outages. More than a hundred homes were damaged in the county. The hardest-hit areas were on the state's west coast.

Hurricane Milton kills 14 in Florida
In the US state of Florida, people continue to die as a result of the elements — Hurricane Milton has already claimed 14 lives. These statistics were reported by the Washington Post newspaper, citing local authorities.
The hurricane swept across Florida, flooding and destroying communities. However, despite this, the number of victims was less than expected. Residents of Florida began to return to damaged and flooded homes.
Milton was blamed for at least 14 deaths, officials said. The first six people were killed on Oct. 9, when two tornadoes struck St. Lucie County the day before the storm. Authorities in Wolusha County reported four deaths, including two women, when trees fell on their homes. Two more people were killed in St. Petersburg and two in Citrus County.
