Dozens of tornadoes spotted in Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton
Multiple tornadoes were spotted in Florida as a weakening but still tremendously powerful Hurricane Milton slammed into the state’s west coast on Wednesday night, arriving as a category 3 storm and leaving more than 2m homes without power.

The cyclone, described earlier in the day by Joe Biden as ‘the storm of the century’, made landfall near Sarasota, Florida, just after 8.30pm ET, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. It brought deadly storm surge to much of Florida’s Gulf coast, including densely populated areas such as Tampa, St Petersburg, Sarasota and Fort Myers. Despite losing some of its potency to wind shear as it neared the coast, Milton, which had churned in the Gulf of Mexico over the last two days as a category 5 storm, was still one of the strongest hurricanes to strike the US mainland in recent memory

It reminds of that film about tornados, think it's called jurassic park
Wow
All this, just to destroy Mar-A-Lago.
I wonder if this is true, you can never be sure with the Guardian.
Wow how scary, tornados followed by the hurricane.
My thoughts and best wishes are with everyone in Florida and all affected areas, hope you manage to evacuate, stay safe and that your homes etc are ok for when you can return🤞🤗
Wasn't it predicted to be a category 5?
My friend is there
i hope ibella is ok ❤❤
Twisters
Yup, its time up for humans. The no global warmers still hiding their heads under ground?
Excellent fabulous 👌 fantastic .
Siempre hay tornados en florida mejor mudence a otro lugar
Global warming, America. It's REAL. Don't let the Orange nightmare and his cronies tell you otherwise.
Ukraine needs money. Pls send.
There's two things that America does better than anyone else, anti gravity aircraft and modifying the weather.
आ gya sab ka kaal
So scary
The Grauniad hasn't found a way to blame Israel for this yet ?
Just not trying !!!
🙄🙄🙄
Thats mucking fental mate
There were over a hundred warnings, although many were extensions due to tornadoes not lifting.
Mother Earth is crying out!
As the Native Americans have said this many times.
Could this have been generated because Trump lives there? 😅😂
So odd and surreal to see Tornados this big in Florida
Too many tornadoes!!!
That's an landfall not an tornado 🌪
I just got my WiFi and power back I’m in Florida😣
