VIDEO: Tornado spotted moving through Florida



A massive tornado crossed over Interstate 75 in Florida on October 9, 2024, ahead of Hurricane Milton, according to the National Weather Service’s Miami office.

The twister was part of the state’s high tornado potential ahead of the Category 4 storm’s landfall on the state’s western coast Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

“Many places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of immense destruction, power loss, and communication failures possible,” the NWS said. “Numerous tornadoes can greatly hinder the execution of emergency plans.”

Hurricanes and tropical storms have a high risk of producing tornadoes. NWS meteorologists say hurricane-generated tornadoes most often happen in thunderstorm systems embedded in rain bands far away from a hurricane’s center. Areas to the storm system’s “dirty” right side, which have the most severe wind shear and instability, have the highest tornado risk.
