Hurricane Milton made landfall on Wednesday, October 9, causing significant damage in several areas, especially around Tampa, Florida. The region experienced a range of consequences, from tornadoes to storm surges, just a few weeks after Hurricane Helen passed through. Even roofs were torn off as a result. Earlier, Hurricane Milton fluctuated between categories 5 and 4, but by the time it made landfall in Florida, it had weakened to a category 3.
Even President Biden commented on the destruction caused by Hurricane Milton, posting on X on Thursday, October 10: «To all those affected by Hurricane Milton: I urge you to stay indoors and not go out on the roads. Downed power lines, debris, and washed-out roads create dangerous conditions. Help is on the way, but until it arrives, stay put until your local authorities say it is safe to go outside».
Journalists from Hollywood Life gathered details about the destruction in Tampa, including at Tropicana Field stadium. Keep reading for more information.
During Hurricane Milton, a whole section of the roof of Tropicana Field stadium, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays, was torn off. According to ESPN, the Rays stated that the stadium was built to withstand winds of up to 115 miles per hour. However, officials in St. Petersburg reported that there were no injuries.
The roof damage occurred after the stadium posted on Instagram: «In anticipation of #Milton, we are working with state and local emergency partners at Tropicana Field to assist in debris cleanup». They added: «Tropicana Field is NOT being used as a shelter. We urge residents to monitor updates from @stpetefl and @pinellasgov regarding the storm».
In addition to Tropicana Field stadium, a crane collapsed on 400 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg, near the baseball stadium, according to officials.
Many Florida residents also faced tornadoes, flooded homes, power outages, and other serious consequences from Hurricane Milton.
At the moment, there are no full-fledged hurricanes in the Atlantic, but the National Hurricane Center is tracking a system off the east coast of Florida that could develop into Tropical Storm Nadine. Additionally, Hurricane Leslie remains active but far from land.
The Atlantic hurricane season, which lasts from June to November, has brought several storms this year, including Hurricanes Helen and Milton
