- (AP) Hurricane Milton churned across Florida on Thursday after plowing into the state as a Category 3 storm, 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 Wednesday night 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 there as well as other parts of western and central Florida.
Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team in St. Petersburg, appeared badly damaged. The fabric that serves as the domed stadium's roof was ripped to shreds by the fierce winds. It was not immediately clear if there was damage inside. Multiple cranes were also toppled in the storm, the weather service said.
St. Petersburg residents also could no longer get water from their household taps because a water main break led the city to shut down service.
The storm knocked out power across a large section of Florida, with more than 3 million homes and businesses without power as of early Thursday, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utility reports.
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.

It annoys me how YT ensures all reports of the hurricane are only filtered through official news sites.
I find the best coverage comes from peoples personally uploaded videos, but YT makes those videos near impossible to find unless one has a direct link. There are hundreds of thousands of videos, maybe millions or more videos on YT that basically lay dormant, with a few dozen views because they're unsearchable, but it's these videos that often allow viewers to link the dots, but sadly they're hidden, buried by the algorithms.
Don't get me wrong, news channel reporters do a good job, but they can only tell a part of the story from a narrative point of view rather than a personal one.
JLR Investigates on TH-cam. Boots on the ground footage👍
Agreed!!!
What dots have you connected, I’m curious
It’s censorship. You can’t trust google and TH-cam anymore even tho they are the biggest source of peoples Information. Every political topic is like this, certain conspiracy’s, tragedies it’s very suspicious.
And why would they actively do things like make TH-cam search worse over the years while simultaneously pushing people to forget about subscriptions to instead get videos from the algorithm fed to them.
Were all just being manipulated
Majority of Main stream media doesn't want to cover the incompetence of FEMA ETC right before the elections...
So this was supposed to be a catastrophic hurricane one time in a century. This does not look to be as severe as they predicted hurricane Helene looked to be much more devastating, causing a significant amount of damage. This seems much less.
At its peak, it was the 6th most powerful hurricane in American history, but it weakened a lot before hitting Florida
helene was worse. this was manageable. we floridians have gone through much worse.
It weakened before it hit. I didn't think that it would but they were right. Still there is lots of damage with this across the state especially the terrible tornadoes that were worse with this storm, over 100 of them. Almost no coverage about the tornadoes yet. Power was out for a month after Hurricane Charley in 2004 so I know what these people have ahead for them in the Florida heat. I was only without power for 2 days in Charley and it was awful. I had flying ants in my bed when I woke up the second morning. The humidity is terrible, mold smell.
It only looks not bad because helene MESSED UP the Carolinas
It was still a very scary storm..
Just a message of hope from your cousins in Canada. Help is on the way from far and wide. Linemen with specialized trucks are near to you from Nova Scotia Power Inc. They will assist local power companies in restoration of power to homes and businesses. You will never be forgotten. Love ❤ & 🙏🙏🙏 from Canada.
We love our neighbors up north 🇨🇦🇺🇲
Don't let the media hype you guys. We in florida are all right, FEMA needs to go helping North Carolina, and they need it more. Our local restoration companies and insurance will have us covered.
Not everyone is well off good sir
Sorry buy yalls insurance WILL give you a hard time.
@@TheSaintwrestler904 yeah we'll need some help but the damage in NC is terrifying
Says you, we just got rocked by the storm last night here in St.Pete FL. We will probably lose everything as well as our house and we have a brand new baby. It’s been terrible for us here in FL.
Maybe all the people with the *excess* money will be fine, but us who have been unable to work since the first hurricane took us on, we’re broke and just trying to make it through this hurricane season.
Time to get the hell out of FL. People and weather here are getting worse and worse and I’m fourth gen FL native. 👎
Such a shit take. Paraphrasing to “I am doing ok dont worry about US…” you might be ok but that doesn’t mean everyone else is
The news exaggerated the storm so bad, I seen a guy on a motorbike during the storm 😂
Uh huh, now tell me how many people died?
This happens like every storm man. The news says its gonna like put Florida in the ocean, then it arrives and I basically sleep through it. I didnt even lose power this time.
Nah you right bruh I was thinking it was finna be a world awakening storm I don’t see anywhere with more than 3 feet of standing water anywhete
We just don't know damage and fatalities yet.
If you notice the only show the severe parts on the news, meanwhile more than all of Tampa did fine. 😂 the news just loves to exaggerate everything.
Pinellas is fucked up
I was worried about that I'm still planing to move to tampa
1.5 million people have no power. Homes have been destroyed and people have died. I guess you wanted more blood you ghoulish little creepo.
So you'd like them to show you places that weren't damaged?
Why?
The story is about a hurricane. When we look for news about a hurricane we're interested on what was damaged, not what wasn't.
How is that exaggerating anything?
@MarkLewis-l3f I get what he's saying the media like to make things look worse than what they really are even situations that involves self defense for example they will tell you about the arrest but never do a fallow up they'll tell you about arm robbers who kxxxxxx someone but never the conviction it's fear mongering they make people not want to invest or visit certain cities these cities are not as dangerous as they make them they make it seen like you can be randomly attacked 7 out of 10 times just walking down the street and that's b.s
What happen to the 10ft of water???
We pray for you people
Try this prayer:
Oh god (gods) please help those who weren’t killed by the hurricane you sent to Florida. Also god, please don’t let Trump be president again as he has suggested using nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes and that would be very bad as most of Florida would be uninhabitable due to radioactive fallout.
But just in case here’s my advance prayer request to clean-up all radioactive fallout from such efforts. OR don’t let it happen in the first place. Come on god, just because Eve ate a “forbidden” apple?
@@ancientprogressive3343😂😂
I keep seeing videos of the Tropicana stadium having its roof torn off by the wind, but the roof looks like it's made out of some kind of fabric or other soft material that's capable of flapping in the wind.
It was made of fiberglass & teflon if you can believe that.
It is lol and was done on purpose for this reason. The news just conviencly leaves this out.
Distraction from North Carolina
Exactly!!!
It's a hurricane... They aren't going to not report on it because another hurricane happened already.
@@Everything_Amorthat’s sick of you and him, Florida needs help too
@@Papiveah Are you in Florida? Because I Am… it’s sick of you and fema to act as if 1000s still aren’t missing in North Carolina and 100s are dead and bodies are still being washed up.. those people need real help there.. so butt off
Of course.... because republican want to make everything a conspiracy theory
So what about the 9-15 foot surge that they was talking bout
Oh it’ll happen more often because of global warming right?
That was if it hit Tampa as the bay is shallow and the surge would stack up in the bay and move forward.
There’s a good weather man in Tampa who explains it. They always forecast the worst case scenario to happen in order to make people prepared and prevent loss of life.
It destroyed barrier islands up the coast so badly that news crews right now cannot reach them… BUT THE DRONE 👀FOOTAGE IS QUITE UNREAL TO SAY THE VERY LEAST!?!
But the cat 6 turned into a 2/3 on approach… a 6 WOULDVE DONE THAT GAURANTEED
Nobody can accurately know the exact damage that this hurricane can cause. Its always better prepared and sorry.
I bet that builders make hella money in Florida cuz buildings keep getting destroyed by hurricanes
Prayers for the peoples of Fl
The construction materials and methods used by Americans to build homes ate the same as the UK uses to build garden sheds.
As a Floridian, Love the news fear mongering.
That's a military installation, not a police station.
The impacts are pretty HORRIFIC in certain parts of Sarasota manatee county, but given Tuesday night it was a 897mb cat 6 on final approach??? I’d say you got lucky around Tampa bay
Not so bad especially here in Orlando! I was a little bored 🥱
No better time to flex ur manliness than when thousands are still trapped and missing in the wreckage.. we are much more concerned with how impressively badass you are
It wasn’t expected to be as bad inland. But you are welcome to trade your home with someone hit by one of the numerous tornadoes or in the flood zone.
How did Winter Haven fair??? Haven't seen any reports on THAT area??
@@notmyname9625 It’s a child most likely saying this.
Man… as a Floridian, this was nothing. News love drama smh lol
And what if it was disastrous? what if it remained a category 5 would you still be saying they were being dramatic? this attitude is the reason why people lose their lives in a natural disaster. Always prepare for the worst case scenario. this is mother nature we are dealing with.
I've been through some hurricanes.. but this was my first time experiencing it in a trailer!!! Very scary😅
Is the price people pay for living on the Sunshine Coast unfortunate by I mean, you live somewhere where this can very well escalate quickly, and for those who stayed behind blows my mind I understand stand your ground, but standing your ground against 10 feet of water is ridiculous
Now the "no one should pay any taxes" and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" crowd will beg for a government bailout.
Agreed another reason to vote Blue. Just common sense!
Go transition another child you freak.
No need to get political when ppls homes are destroyed
Nobody argues that people shouldn’t receive aid when hit by natural disasters. Keep running that mouth though, you sound brilliant
Yea the state that made it illegal to sleep outside before a huge hurricane 1:09
The nedia didnt cover helene president didnt even get fema there till twelve days later
Uh oh. The Trumperts are out now.
This kind of disinformation is so fucking dangerous. There are even clips of republican governors and officials refuting claims like this asshole is making and thanking aid agencies. FEMA, the Coast Guard, the National Guard, etc... are all working tirelessly to help everyone from Helene and now Milton(even the morons like the OP here). Other states and even Canada are sending help, too. Those people are heroes, it's so disrespectful to say shit like this.
What a lie
Family Friendly . . . . .
All news videos go through language filters in order to broadcast them on the air . Private citizens express their feelings explicitly about seeing a roof being torn off . be safe . Look to the source of the video . not title or thumbnail pic .

@@FilmSchool-om3ew Agree 100% . YT is very powerful , in that way . My post was for myself and others who want the event coverage without curse words . When I click on to a private content provider , I hear certain words words that i would rather not hear . Freedom of speech ? ABSOLUTELY ! Go right ahead and express yourself . But I have the privilege to choose what I do not want listen to .
SAVE the fish 😊
Yall were so dramatic with this. I see why people don't take it seriously now.
It could have been tragic, luck was on their side because it weakend before it made landfall
what the hell is around her neck ??? ouch !!!!
That's nothing compared to Palestine 💔. At least you do not have anyone shooting at you 😢
Meh, all in all Helene was MUCH worse.
JFC, their sheriffs have MRAPs?
Walt Disney would
No, Ron D, no Rick S, there is no climate change.
Bet ya all cant wait for Scamala Harris to get there and do her 5min speech then leave without helping. 😂
Let's all relocate to the 'Sunshine State'...
ROFLMAO 🤣 HAHAHAHA
May God Bless ALL.
Try this prayer:

So your prayer is a list of retarded demands we should follow. You are delusional... esp if your voting for that lying witch.
Global Warming !
😂😂
Deuteronomy 28
Isn't Florida a RED State? -that is all I need to know.
They are Americans... who gives a shit what they vote.... you woke imbecile!
We aren’t all red, 4th gen FL Native here. Blue as blue can get. Can’t afford to leave FL, lost our jobs right before Helene with a massive layoff and have been reeling ever since.
No money = no hurricane prep for Milton. Everything is soaked, house is buckling under its weight due to water. We just had our baby a few months ago and now we’re in dire need. Was denied unemployment at 4am (which I’ve been fighting them for weeks-) and STILL haven’t heard back from FEMA about Hurricane Helene. (Can’t even apply for Milton yet, checked the website twice this morning.)
Sad times we’re living in. Politics shouldn’t matter but seeing people yelling “That’s what the MAGA people get!” While I have a house right next door is crazy. Im the first to tout my blue flag, everyone is downplaying or denying us help.
We are screwed here in FL.
