Hey Strangers,

#hurricanemilton #ai #pricegouging

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has received more than 200 complaints about price gouging as many thousands of residents prepared to evacuate from Hurricane Milton.

As of Monday, most of the complaints are about fuel and water, said Kylie Mason, Moody's spokesperson. The top three counties for complaints are Highlands, Hillsborough and Pinellas, she added.

There were also scattered instances involving overnight accommodations, including one Airbnb listing of a "room in Tallahassee" for nearly $6,000 a night.

"Our team already reached out to our (Airbnb) corporate contact and tracked down the owner," Mason said. "We are sharing a copy of the price gouging statute ... and making them aware of their legal responsibility." (An Airbnb spokesperson on Wednesday countered that "the price for that listing has been the same for over two years. It was not changed in response to recent natural disasters.")
