MassLive | Watch as multiple tornadoes hit Florida as Hurricane Milton approaches @MassLive | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
A tornado crossed Interstate 75 in Florida on Wednesday as Hurricane Milton approached the state.
The National Weather Service in Miami posted a photo on the social platform X of the funnel crossing the highway Wednesday morning with the words: “TORNADO crossing I-75 as we speak! Seek shelter NOW!”
The tornado was visible at a distance from Miramar, Florida.
A possible tornado was also spotted in Clewiston, Florida, a city located on the south bank of Lake Okeechobee.
A tornado watch has been issued for more than 20 Florida counties ahead of Hurricane Milton.
The National Weather Service on Wednesday morning issued the watch, which includes a vast part of Florida, including the Tampa area, the Florida Keys and Miami-Dade County.
More than 12 million people in the state faced threat of tornadoes along with hail and wind, the service said
Hurricane Milton dropped to a Category 4 early Wednesday as it churns toward Florida’s west coast.
The National Hurricane Center had predicted it would likely weaken, but remain a major hurricane when it makes landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday.
The Tampa Bay area, home to more than 3.3 million people, faced the possibility of widespread destruction after avoiding direct hits from major hurricanes for more than a century.
