Pinellas County Commissioner Brian Scott has reported that St. Petersburg, Florida, bore the brunt of Hurricane Milton, with the storm causing significant damage from wind and rain. While the storm did not bring the worst potential storm surge, the impact on the area was still substantial.
Scott expressed astonishment at the extent of the damage, particularly highlighting the severely damaged Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team. He emphasized that in his 42 years of living in Pinellas County, he had never witnessed such destruction.
