Hurricane Milton Spawns Destructive, Deadly Tornadoes Before Making Landfall

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Multiple powerful tornadoes ripped across Florida hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday, tearing off roofs, overturning vehicles and sucking debris into the air as the black V-shaped columns moved through. By Wednesday evening, more than 130 tornado warnings associated with Milton had been issued by National Weather Services offices in Florida. What we saw today was much closer to what we see in the Great Plains in the spring.” An apparent tornado caused by Hurricane Milton, tore the awning off a 7-Eleven convenient store, on Oct. 9, 2024, in Cape Coral, Fla. AP Photo/Marta Lavandier Tornadoes spawned by hurricanes and tropical storms most often occur in the right-front quadrant of the storm, but sometimes they can also take place near the storm’s eyewall, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Luke Culver, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said he wasn’t sure whether Milton had spawned a record number of tornados, but he pointed out that only 64 Florida tornado warnings were associated with Hurricane Ian, which hit the Tampa Bay area as a massive storm in 2022.
