Wild video from Clewiston, Florida, shows a destructive tornado on the ground as Hurricane Milton bears down on the Sunshine State.
Video shared by Chandler Mullens shows a large tornado on the ground just before noon near State Route 80.
The tornado was one of many confirmed in Florida as the outer bands of the destructive Hurricane Milton lash Florida.
Hurricanes and tropical storms have the ability to produce tornadoes. The National Weather Service said there had been 53 tornado warning issued by 3 p.m. on Wednesday, 41 of which were issued by the weather service in Miami.
The weather service said via X that it had “received reports of structures damaged in Lakeport” Wednesday as the “most recent tornado-warned storm moved through the area.” The service said it was the second tornado to impact Lakeport, an unincorporated community about two hours from Miami, on Wednesday.
