As Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc in Florida, it spawned what experts described as deadly 'supercharged' tornadoes. At least nine tornadoes ripped through communities in a single county overnight, with three occurring in less than 25 minutes.
Storm chaser Jonathan Petramala, who witnessed the hurricane in St. Petersburg, noted the unusual nature of the tornadoes in Florida. Typically, tornadoes in the state appear as a wall of rain rather than the classic twister shape. However, the tornadoes generated by Milton resembled those seen in tornado-prone states like Oklahoma.
