Social media is flooded with videos of floods in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which ripped through Florida last night. Milton hit land as a Category 3 storm yesterday, October 9, at about 8:30 PM ET. According to NBC News, at least 10 people died from the tornadoes, flash floods, and high winds. Millions in the region are still at risk from severe weather, and 3.4 million people in Florida remain without electricity.
One bit of devastation a lot of people are talking about is Tropicana Field, aka “the Trop,” where the MLB team, the Tampa Bay Rays, play. Milton ripped off the stadium’s roof, making it look like nothing more than fabric.
