Florida is reeling from Hurricane Milton, a rare and powerful storm that resulted in significant damage to Tropicana Field, leaving millions without power.
The storm's intensity was unprecedented, as indicated by a three-hour rainfall total of 8.5 inches in St. Petersburg, classified as a 1,000-year event.
While the Tampa Bay area saw less damage thanks to the storm's path, communities south of Sarasota faced the worst effects of the storm surge.
Hurricanes like Milton reveal the increasing frequency of extreme weather events associated with climate change, disrupting normal expectations about storm behavior.
