Watch: Terrifying Videos Emerge As Hurricane Milton Tears Through US State of Florida

Multiple fatalities were reported after powerful tornadoes linked to Hurricane Milton swept through parts of Florida on Wednesday, wreaking havoc across the Sunshine State.

Hurricane Milton, once a Category 5 storm, made landfall on Florida’s west coast on Thursday, weakening to a lower category but still delivering winds over 100 mph, heavy rain, and a life-threatening storm surge. US media reported that about 2 million Floridians were left without power.

The storm made landfall around 8:30 p.m. EDT on Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour (195 kph) near Siesta Key, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Several videos going viral on social media platforms have emerged from Florida, as the storm passed through the state.

By 11 p.m. EDT, wind speeds had reduced to 105 mph (165 kph), dropping Milton to a Category 2 hurricane, nonetheless still considered extremely dangerous. The eye of the storm was 75 miles (120 km) southwest of Orlando in the center of the state.

Before the storm, officials warned residents to evacuate, cautioning against the dangers of riding out the hurricane, according to the New York Post.

Tornado activity was also reported an hour south in Palm Beach County, where footage captured a tornado tearing through power lines in the village of Wellington. Witnesses described chaotic scenes as cars fled the twister while flashes—possibly from a transformer blowing—lit up the background. First responders transported five individuals to hospitals, including three to trauma centers, amid reports of people trapped in overturned cars and debris, according to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue.
