The Casey DeSantis question looming over Florida’s governor race
Developing a major earthquake struck a coastal region this morning, causing widespread infrastructure damage and prompting emergency evacuations. Officials report tremors measured at magnitude 6.2 with aftershocks expected as responders assess collapsed buildings and blocked roads.
Rescue teams are prioritizing hospitals and schools as patients overflow emergency rooms. Local authorities have urged residents to stay away from damaged structures and to follow official guidance amid ongoing power outages and disrupted communication networks.
Authorities say aid supplies, including food, water, and medical kits, are being dispatched, with relief aircraft landing at regional airports. The government is coordinating with international partners to assess humanitarian needs and restore essential services in the hardest-hit areas.
