Milton Update: Purple skies – Bay empties – Tornadoes wreak havoc – Critters go on the move – Rays lose

As Hurricane Milton wobbled to the south, the back side sucked the water out of the 6th largest bay in the world and with that move saved Tampa from the devastating storm surge it feared. The storm broke up upon landing (prayers work!) and the hurricane, while unpleasant was far from the apocalyptic event everyone had forecast.

Hurricane Milton made landfall on Floridaโ€™s west coast with 120 mph winds, spawning 19 tornadoes and causing widespread damage. Over 125 homes were destroyed, and 2 million residents are without power. Severe flooding hit Tampa Bay.

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) amassed over 37,000 linemen to restore power once hurricane Milton passes with many of these brave linemen being out of state. The Trump family put 275 of them up for free at his Trump National Doral Miami resort.
