- Dramatic drone footage captures damage caused by Hurricane Milton to Tropicana Field's roof. The stadium is the home of the Tampa Bay Rays, in St. Petersburg, Florida. CNN speaks to journalist and storm chaser Jonathan Petramala, who shot the footage. #CNN #News
I got ran over by a CAT 3 once. I haven't lived anywhere near the coast since. I moved to tornado alley and got ran over by an F4. Im in the desert now and havent seen a cloud in months.
😂 I’m sorry but “ran over” and getting hit in every environment you’ve been in is kinda comical. Glad you’re alright 👍
@@mikeprestige1168 I was on the toilet the other day when a 5.1 frack quake hit. I got spanked by a toilet for the first time.
@@Wolfcamp555You can't seem to catch a break!! 😂
Sounds like you need to repent like Jonah.
Wait till you have a power outage in the desert
Please no offense to anyone BUT who the HELL puts a vinyl top (AKA A LARGE SAIL) on a massive Ballpark in an area that's ALWAYS getting hit by hurricanes ? Just seems REALLY dumb to me !
Yeah, it seems funky especially nowadays when all sorts of arenas are built all across the world with retractable roofs.
Oh so it’s like a big tarp? And they wonder why it blew off? Amazing
@@kr50401 Exactly !
@kr50401 Reporter on the ground said he found a piece of roof and it was like thick vinyl, swimming pool material!
Well, houses made from cardboard, roofs made from vinyl, US construction checks out.
Thankfully no one got hurt inside that stadium.
Yeah, that cloth roof could have killed hundreds...
of mosquitos.
@@mikerew9132 you lack in creative sarcasm 🥱
Until the effects of fiberglass shredding all over them becomes a reality.
To everyone complaining as to why a plastic tarp was put over a stadium in a place like Florida it's because it is a lot cheaper to do so and just replace the plastic tarps from time to time rather than build a very expensive roof.
Agreed but also, thought of Katrina.
It's also safer than flying debris from a solid roof
I'd venture to say the Denver Airport roof is more what they needed. not sure how much better that fabric roof is.
My hypothesis is that the material was likely degraded faster than anticipated because of higher UV radiation and higher than normal temperatures this year. If I’m not mistaken that stuff was supposed to be rated for 200mhp winds. Even a slight tear or weak spot would have easily given way under those conditions last night. Then it all falls like dominoes.
@@only1muppet Just like the Pontiac Silverdome when snow destroyed the roof.
2 dozen tornadoes from Hurricane 🌀 Milton. Heartbreaking 😢 💔
THE UNIVERSE ALWAYS ✨️ WINS 🏆 ✨️ 🙌 ❤️
Tell that when the universe ends @@theresarolle9126
Amazing that they don’t have enough damage to make some people happy.😢 To me, it’s a total miracle and pray that it continues to be a miracle as people come out of their shelter areas and start posting their stories! There were lives lost to the tornados; and many more that probably have not survived! And there are likely damage to structures not so well fortified like in downtown Tampa.
Did they really think a tent like roof was going to survive a cat 4? Then they had the audacity to use it as a shelter. So Stupid!
AND some folks got paid to work on that plan.
I mean I guess it lasted like 30/40 years in Florida so that's good enough? It had a good run, also it wasn't used as a shelter
@@d.b.cooper1people just talk with there arse
It was not used as a shelter. It was being used as a staging area for first responders. As far as your assumption as to the mental capacity of the local leaders, they said it couldn't and wouldent be used as a shelter. @d.b.cooper1
😢
Imagine being so stupid and inept, that you believe a soft plastic dome will survive a HURRICANE.
Yep. Extremely shoddy construction and even worse disaster planning.
AND theres people being paid to be in that position
On the bright side, I guess they just have to put a tarp on that tarp and dry out the beds and the field, and get to work. But yeah it wasn't the best idea. but knowing that area, hard to think of a structure of that size that could have been set up to fit 10000 people on short notice.
@@PS-yi7yq On short notice?? Florida is one of a few states that has a HURRICANE SEASON. Such a facility should exist in cities allover the state. You CAN build structures that are flood, wind, and even fireproof. The problem is the stupid, corrupt Trump nuthugger running things in FLA.
Or maybe they planned ahead to never have a Katrina situation? Kinda sick.
The roof was about as strong as a swimming pool liner haha
My brother and his wife rode out the storm, which thankfully wasn't as bad as they predicted. They don't live near the coast and they have a concrete house, so they felt safe. I was more worried than they were. But those tornadoes are scary!!
Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez of Florida called out Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday telling her to get her “head examined” for suggesting someone is “controlling the weather.”🙄
Just came to see first political attack. Congrats
If you believe many of these comments, prayers stopped much damage and saved lives. So…maybe it is true?
The Universe is reacting to people such Marjorie Taylor Green! And the Universe always ✨️ WINS! 😂🎉😅😊😮Marjorie Taylor Green is cursed!
The mongbots are crying because of this comment, which shows it's 100% true.
Google it people. They've had weather weapons since the 80's. Just a little cloud seeding 😊
Nothing even happened in Orlando. A little wind and rain. Never lost power.
I’m glad YOU are fine, but people are definitely under water.
@sssssssss111 Where? Storm surge was only 3 ft instead of the 12 ft they predicted on the coast.
Awesome bro.
The Tropicana hotel in Vegas was just demolished to make a baseball stadium. Then hours later the Tropicana baseball field in Florida is damaged. What are the odds of that?
and i drank some tropicana fruit juice while reading this , wow the odds just got longer !!!
@@docgonzalesnext thing you know we get dirrhea for drinking Tropicana😂
@@docgonzales LMAO, good one!
Woke this morning to find my tropical fish”Anna” completely submerged
Definitely the "Jooze" with their weather machine, AMIRITE??? TIN FOIL HAT TIME!!!!1!1!1
So many prayers and thank God the storm surge predicted didn’t happen. Praying for those residents as they began to rebuild and may God give you all strength 🙏🏾
Why is that 'surreal'? The roof was fabric. It would be surreal if it was intact.
Not as surreal as NC towns getting completely washed away . Pretty trivial in comparison
That damaged plastic roof seems more important than actual people's lives...
Prayers to all 🙏
from the Philippines 🇵🇭
🙏🏻🕊🕊🕊
Is it only hitting America?
@@Mario69540It hit the Southeastern part of Mexico in the early stages, but mostly the U.S
@@Crp54321 so not near Australia
@@Crp54321 by that I mean is it not gonna hit Australia
Living in the midwest with tornadoes, we have learned about the dry line from the so.west to the Gulf of Mexico, and how the warm moist air that clashes with the warm dry air mixed with wind shear , will spin up tornadoes away from the center of a storm.
Climate change has made this more extreme with multiple tornado warnings miles away from the center of extreme weather.
🌪🌪🌪
Be safe people
Our prayers go out to everyone ✝️🙏🕊️🕯️🌹
No, not everyone.
Reminds me of the Three Little Pigs
The good news is the hurricane turned out far more mild than expected. So many refused to evacuate that thousands would have died had Milton developed the 15 feet storm surges expected. As it is, those didn't materialize, saving the lives of the feeble minded.
You can breed the ultimate stupid by staying behind and having sex in a hurricane.
I hope all the homeless people, the dogs, cats and other non-human animals are safe.
The roof of Tropicana Field, where the Tampa Bay Rays play their home games, was ripped open. It reminded me of what happened to the Superdome in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Thank The Maker that Milton wasn't as devastating predicted but who thought the outfield of a soft-roofed domed stadium would be a good place to house First Responders? Did they not figure the wind and what it would do to the material?
My parents live right down the street from Tropicana Field and the issue they currently have is the power being out
It’s a bit of a shame with regards to the crane in the building because they could’ve taken the crane down they new Helen was coming, if they would’ve prepared for that, and then also prioritize, taking down the crane for Milton I don’t understand why everybody waits until the last minute to prepare versus taking a more proactive approach, I guess when they rebuild the stadium they’re going to now make it a bit more hurricane proof, and use a retractable roof. How do they not expect that the roof would not be ripped off, silly officials
I'm sure it was designed to be expendable. This cloth roof probably gets replaced on a regular basis anyway. $200,000 roof vs $20 million roof. They can replace it 100 times for the same money.
Short answer, capitalsim, long answer, most businesses are owned by out of state companies that dont really take these hurricanes seriously. Enough so that they force their employees to stay so last minute on keepin business open, or not break down large items even when its obvious thats a bad and dangerous idea. Ask any retailer or construction worker thats from a higher corpo and you get stories on their companies tellin them to keep workin Or Else. Hell some of the malls stayed open til tuesday afternoon/evenin for this storm.
Prayers going out to those that were involved in this hurricane. It’s so sad to see this destruction. May everything turn out to be OK God bless them and those who are trying to help save others.😢
Makes sense to build a roof from paper in hurricane country.
A VINYL roof on a stadium in St. Petersburg, FL? What were they thinking???
Fake news loved this storm !!
It's ok. We can all rest safe knowing that the insurance companies WILL take care of them. Oh and YOUR claim is **DENIED.** Just wait and see how much your premium jumps next year. Thankfully, the stadium will get a discount as a "business incentive." Insurance is a RACKET!!! Let's hear what Rhonda Santis will do about that issue. NOTHING. Too busy banning books.
He is a joke
Damn, news stations must be really happy at least that stadium roof was destroyed in this tropical storm that was supposed to be the worst hurricane in 100+ years. They're struggling to find any damage to report on.
You have issues really
A baseball field with a roof. Open to the elements. In Florida. Architecture run amuck.
The rays finally have an outdoor stadium.
For supporting Israel
Theyre gonna have to sell a lotttt of orange juice…
Just another regular storm ☔🌋⛅
Sending prayers - everyone stays safe and sound.
If the Rays were in the Playoffs where would they play?
In Orlando I guess
What, does no one remember what happened at the Stadium in NOLA during KATRINA?!?
Hurricane Katrina ripped off the roof covering of the Superdome back in 2005
Not a good week for Tropicana's.
A "FABRIC" SHREDDING IN HURRICANE WINDS IS NOT SURREAL
Ah. No one gives a damn about sports!
The people are more important than a damn building!
Well, at least DeSantis says he doesn't need federal help. That way, we can send all the funds to NC and TN to help them. I get it. There weren't any real tornados. We call those spinups here in the Midwest. If they were real tornados, there would be nothing left of FL. Desantis knows this, and from high up on his lifters, he can see FL doesn't need federal help.
At least the people will have work at that stadium also at least my gf and my 2 best friends r ok
It's hard to feel sorry for those who chose to stay. If you choose to run into a woodchipper, you don't have the right to complain it hurts.
Wow, our country is full of complete idiots. using a large trash bag for a roof was such a great design that I'm surprised it shredded and that first responders would actually think that it would be a great location for an emergency hotspot .
Safer than flying metal
I mean it held up for over 30 years before now. The stadium was built in 1988. It probably should have been replaced a couple of years ago but it's not like this is a brand new just constructed facility where this happened.
360p?? Thanks for the 'clear' coverage CNN. Unbelievable...............
Climate change is a real thing, this will be a common thing. We have reached the tipping point extremes in weather will be the norm
No such thing it is the new religion to bting people in line

So you think it's perfectly safe that we're dumping tons of chemicals into the air that you breathe?
Aren't you supposed to be believing in chemtrails and what not?
we are literally doing the same thing with CO2 and you don't believe it.
What a fool.
Very happy, Johnathon's home is OK.
What was the ceiling made of? Looks so cheaply constructed.
Some stadiums used ss shelters are not safe. Do the authorities do assessments and H&S checks before recommending these facilities as places of shelter?
What are their contingency plans and hope the responders are safe!
The former home of the Detroit Lions, the Pontiac Silverdome had it's roof collapse and shredded. The Super Dome in New Orleans, same thing. Whomever thought it was a good idea to stage hurricane relief in a domed stadium is a moron. What a waste of money and resources.
Thats alot of damage on that stadium i wonder whos gonna pay for that new roof
The rays will need a new stadium
Who's gonna pay for the State of North Carolina? Focus, man.
@@JesseJones-jh3flthis isn’t abt North Carolina so stfu
The rooftop being made out of something that can tear away in small pieces is possibly the only reason why the armature of the roof armature is still intact. How dangerous it would it be if there were thousands of solid sheets of metal or even fiberglass flying away at 100+ mph. A dome that massive size, even with a metal roof would be unlikely to withstand hurricanes or tornadoes with that kind of moving power and then you’d have deadly debris falling into the stadium and even worse launching into surrounding buildings and homes. As for being used as a first responder shelter.. probably not the best idea..suppose it was worth a shot, though a long one with that type of roof. At the very least it was an ok place to store 8,000 cots.
Tropicana Sales just went down 😩😩😩🤦🏽♂️ after this
SO IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING
So glad to hear Milton has been downgraded to a Cat 1 storm.
Really surprised? Large sheets of fiberglass? Acting like kites. And 120 mph winds? Duhhhh...
Thanking God for His mercies.
Who the hell made the dessition to have a plastic roof as a shelter?
You’re spellihng iss ettroyshuss
Why the hell was a crane left out and in the up position
Why would a crane be left extended?! Wouldn't it be so easy to retract that in preparation? So stupid.
The Stadium lost it's top. Big deal. A third of North Carolina is gone. Focus, people.
Tropicana Field was always the dankest dingiest place I have ever gone to watch a ballgame.
It's God's way of saying, keep the damn roof off!
Who's idea was it to put the first responders in a huge tent??
What happened to the Hospital?
Somehow I knew the hurricane was gonna weaken by the time it touch land
Who was stupid enough to approve this roofing material in hurricane country???
Think about it more deeply
At this point...hire the storm chaser!
DJI drones are good, but imagine the wind 💨😮😮😮. I can tell it was used
It's a roof made of fabric. Not surprising at all.
"cloud seeding" does not cause hurricanes nor tornadoes nor does cloud seeding "control the weather".
Cloud seeding is to encourage precipitation from localised cloud-formations.
No, HAARP and satellite directed energy creates hurricanes. ( 2.8-10 MHz) Cloud seeding creates bigger rain clouds.
They can play in Oakland
The universe always wins 2:20 2:25 🏆 🎉😮
They tried to use a fabric roofed stadium for a shelter??
Good thing the team wasn’t using the stadium anyway.
I am a storm chaser, so I should move to Tampa, Florida.
What frigging idiot building architects thought it was good to use a fabric roof for a stadium in a hurricane area, let alone write off on it for building inspections?
Not as bad as many thought, but still pretty bad. I just hope many did not lose their lives.
Wonder how tamba bay rays feel
The circus lost his roof now is only bread left 🤣🤣
Thank goodness it went from Cat 5 to only a mere Cat 3.. Warmer water is causing the influxx of hurricane 🌀 strength according to publication by Oregon State University following the weather patterns over the past few years. Recently published before Milton.
Wow, had the Rays been in the playoffs, there would have moved their home games to Miami.
Is the roof there at Tropicana field made out of TARPS???
I wonder where the Rays will play next year.
That roof can be replaced in a month. That's why they built it with a cost effective "break away" roof. It's way cheaper to replace it than it would be to repair a traditional dome.
Oh man, i wish i could help the rescue efforts, 😢
It’s fine in Orlando.
Look at the roof. Of course it wasn't getting ripped 😂
Praying for ya'll
shows how dumb government is
Investigate the insurance claims by the Tampa Rays. They've been talking about building a new stadium all year. This was a regular storm in Florida and no problem with the roof all the previous storms.
Not to worry…like the state of Indiana….no one goes to Rays games…you end up there because someone got free tickets….
Thank you Lord for answering our prayers. You are an amazing God..
an education is a mortal sin
Amazing God?
Isn't He the one that sent the hurricanes?
