The tornadoes were reported to have damaged more than a hundred structures around the state, and several people were injured, the authorities said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At least 116 tornado warnings had been issued across Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a news conference just before 8 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. Mr. DeSantis said there were 19 confirmed tornadoes in the state. A tornado <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/tornado-safety-tips.html#:~:text=A%20tornado%20warning%20is%20an,trained%20spotter%20sees%20a%20tornado.\" title=\"\">warning is issued<\/a> after a tornado is seen by a spotter or shows up on a radar. It is an urgent alert to take shelter. The National Weather Service later looks into each one for confirmation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNumerous counties have reported tornado damage,\u201d Mr. DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Kevin Guthrie, the executive director for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, said that early reports indicated about 125 homes were destroyed, mostly mobile homes in senior communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some of the earliest reports of severe damage from tornadoes came from St. Lucie County on Florida\u2019s Atlantic coast, about 140 miles east from where Milton made landfall. Crews were sifting through the rubble at the Spanish Lakes Country Club Village in Lakewood Park, Fla., on Wednesday evening. Sheriff Keith Pearson of St. Lucie County <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbf.com\/article\/officials-multiple-fatalities-in-st-lucie-county-from-tornadoes\/62561027\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told<\/a> WPBF, an ABC affiliate station, that \u201cmultiple tornadoes\u201d touched down in the Spanish Lakes community, and \u201cwe have lost some life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSearch-and-rescue teams are on their way,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going through the rubble. We\u2019re trying to recover anybody that we can, provide whatever help that we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sheriff Pearson declined to comment on the number of fatalities to WPBF on Wednesday evening, saying the crews were focused on \u201crecovering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is the beginning of the storm,\u201d Sheriff Pearson said, noting the long road to recovery ahead. \u201cTake whatever precautions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a video posted on Facebook, Sheriff Pearson warned his residents to take the storm threat seriously by showing a 10,000-foot iron structure that once covered patrol cars that he said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/9260569183958547\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">had been crumpled when a tornado passed through<\/a>. No one was injured. The sheriff\u2019s office could not be reached.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Central Florida, Sheriff Paul Blackman of the Highlands County Sheriff\u2019s Office <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HighCoSheriff\/posts\/pfbid02e9Vvguo5JLvyFr9VdBPnM4s9kYNSZVzNq7Ex8x9KuswJUEowY15qhzcwEWxdJU9rl\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> on social media that a tornado had apparently struck the Tropical Harbor Mobile Home Park in Lake Placid around 2 p.m., causing structure damage. One person suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two tornadoes touched down in Okeechobee County, the county\u2019s Emergency Management Department said, adding that two people had been injured and over 30 homes damaged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hurricanes <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/09\/us\/hurricane-milton-tornadoes.html\" title=\"\">can spawn tornadoes<\/a> because their outer rain bands often contain strong thunderstorms of their own. Tornadoes that accompany tropical systems are usually weak and short-lived, but those accompanying Milton were slightly more intense and out of the ordinary, meteorologists said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Reporting was contributed by <!-- -->Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs<!-- -->, <!-- -->Hank Sanders<!-- -->, <!-- -->Yan Zhuang<!-- -->, <!-- -->John Keefe<!-- --> <!-- -->Henry Fountain<!-- --> and <!-- -->Judson Jones<!-- -->.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/10\/us\/tornadoes-milton-florida-desantis.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search-and-rescue efforts were underway in Florida on Thursday morning after Hurricane Milton spawned powerful tornadoes across the state that resulted in some loss of life, according to one county sheriff. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=112553\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112553\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
