According to CBS News, satellite Images show that Hurricane Milton may have reshaped Florida.

Question

Satellite images taken before and after Hurricane Milton struck and passed over Florida last week show the extent of coastal damage.

Answer 1

I could not find any other news source that also talked about this which could mean it might not be true. But the pictures provided in the CBS News article definitely makes it seem like their was some form of coastal damage/reshaping. While doing further research I found a CNN article which shows other things that happened in Florida during this time which could further prove this to be true. The biggest thing being the fact that there was high water levels throughout the state including areas where pictures in the CBS article were taken. Also it was noted that there was numerous tornadoes reported in that same area of the coast.

This claim about "reshaping Florida" is very ambiguous. Coastlines in general are constantly reshaped by storms and erosion. (Source: https://toolkit.climate.gov/topics/coastal-flood-risk/coastal-erosion) Thus, any hurricane will at least slightly reshape a coastline that it intersects. However, this headline seems to imply that hurricane Milton completely altered the shape of the Florida coastline. But in the aerial imagery provided by CNN, this is not very evident. Though building damage is easily seen, the shore is not dramatically reshaped. In fact, the images focus on the urban damage rather than the coastline. Furthermore, there is no actual evidence supporting this bold headline: no measurements, no data, and no authoritative quotes. In conclusion, the imagery is not convincing enough to prove that the hurricane "reshaped Florida."

Answer 2

Photos in the CBS News article back up the claim that the hurricane reshaped the Florida coastline (although pretty minimally). Searching for similar articles led to minimal results, although before and after photos seem to support the claim. Until there is more research into the situation, it's hard to know weather (pun intended) the article is fully accurate or not.

Answer 3

So, this article has a big problem: the Title isn't the real claim. If you read the article, you will see that at no point does it claim or try to support the fact that the Florida coastline has been, as they say, "reshaped." The article is just talking about the damage in some of the more coastal areas of Florida because of the hurricane. So, in actuality, the claim is that "Hurricane Milton has caused severe damage to areas on the Florida coast."
All that being said, CBS is often a high-quality and valid source to go to for news. As seen by the headline of this article, they may exaggerate some things like most News companies, but they are typically considered to be trustworthy.
Emily Mae Czachor is also a real writer who has written many articles for Buzzfeed, CBS, and other publishers. The content she is writing about is very new as it pertains to the current Hurricane crisis happening in Florida. There are also MANY articles pertaining to the destruction that has come with Hurricane Milton, and surprisingly, a couple of them talk about the possibility of certain parts of Florida being reshaped.
While the images don't prove any reshaping of the state, they do show clear destruction to roads, houses, and other architecture in the area. While that doesn't support the Title, it does support the main claim.
Overall, I think this article is being truthful to the points it is trying to make. It comes from credited sources that aren't necessarily biased in any way. The only problem is that the Title itself doesn't line up with the actual content of the story. There is no evidence or mention of a reshaping of a state, only of destruction that has hit the edges of it. So, while misleading, I do find this article to be overall truthful.
