- A tornado ripped debris off the ground and a building in St. Lucie County, Florida, as Hurricane Milton arrived.
Hurricane Milton plowed into Florida as a Category 3 storm Wednesday, bringing misery to a coast still ravaged by Helene, pounding cities with winds of over 100 mph (160 kph) after producing a barrage of tornadoes, but sparing Tampa a direct hit.
The storm tracked to the south in the final hours and made landfall in Siesta Key near Sarasota, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Tampa. The situation in the Tampa area was still a major emergency as St. Petersburg recorded over 16 inches (41 centimeters) of rain, prompting the National Weather Service to warn of flash flooding.
Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, appeared to be badly damaged. Television images Wednesday night showed that the fabric that serves as the domed building’s roof had been ripped to shreds. It was not immediately clear if there was damage inside the stadium.
More than 1.9 million homes and businesses were without power in Florida, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utility reports. The highest number of outages were in Hardee County, as well as neighboring Sarasota and Manatee counties.
Before Milton even made landfall, tornadoes were touching down across the state. The Spanish Lakes Country Club near Fort Pierce, on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, was hit particularly hard, with homes destroyed and some residents killed.
“We have lost some life,” St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson told WPBF News, though he wouldn’t say how many people were killed.

These tornadoes are not normal for Florida. These look like tornadoes straight from tornado alley.
Gosh, I hope everyone is safe :(
We got some of the best tornado footage EVER taken from Milton.
I was watching it go down live on a livestream. It was so scary watching it go down.
That look like an airplane falling off to the side, dear God
Wherever that camera was mounted was pretty strong to withstand that tornado
Is this west Fort pierce?
Yes
Woah
Is that now?
From what I see if it really just slabbed that entire apartment complex that is well ef4/5 damage
Yea check it on google maps
I dont know the location of the building
I think that was a Warehouse, still very impressive. EF3/EF4
I just see roof damage and some interior wall damage. And the utility poles barely sustain any damage.
@@bosballl There is a photo surfacing that shows what appears to be this warehouse afterwards. It's completely flattened , it's a lot worse than you think.
Is that a plane is seen
I hope everyone is ok. Terrifying. 😢
What a nightmare.
Gawd AWFUL

2001-052003008529641- Hurricane and tornado control device
Saved you the trouble, there's the PATENT number for you
@@AdamJames-ct3pb So according to your ''logic'' ... hurricanes and tornados didn't exist prior to 2001.
