Hurricane Milton Tears Roof Off of Tampa Bay Rays’ Tropicana Field, Topples Crane onto Tampa Bay

Hurricane Milton is ripping through East Florida, causing severe damage and toppling trees and other structures.

Nearly three million people were left without power after the massive storm made landfall near Sarasota on Wednesday evening.

Over a dozen tornados were reported across the state, with multiple fatalities.

On Wednesday night, the roof of Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, was shredded to pieces.

“According to the Rays, the Trop was built to withstand winds of up to 115 mph. The roof is supported by 180 miles of cables connected by struts in what the team calls the ‘world’s largest cable-supported domed roof,'” reports ESPN.
