As Floridians prepared for Hurricane Milton on PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank CenterWednesday, a man was seen getting his exercise in before the storm.
Milton at one point strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane, but weakened to Category 3 by the time it made landfall Wednesday night. However, the storm did leave its mark on the state as over 3.3 million people woke up without power, according to USA TODAY'S power outage data.
The storm flooded neighborhoods, destroyed homes, and ripped off the roof of a major sports venue. At least six people died around the state, as of Thursday morning.
City and state officials issued many warnings to evacuate areas in Milton's path, but one jogger appeared to be undeterred.

Unplanned events can occur during a journalist's live shot, especially during a major weather event.
One video shows NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin giving an update on Hurricane Milton in Tampa late afternoon on Wednesday when he spots a man running through the wind and rain.
“There’s a jogger actually,” Entin said. “Look at this!”
“The Florida man right there for you Blake,” he said. “Jogging in the hurricane.”
