Miami, 10 October 2024 – It is one of the symbolic images of the destructive force of Milton. L’hurricane which hit the city this night Florida tore off the roof of Tropicana Field, lo stadio of the Tampa Bay Raysa baseball team based in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, in the west of Floridaand which plays in the most important baseball league in the world.
The structure had been set up just a few days ago as base camp to host members of the National Guard mobilized for the tornado emergency, as well as a team of electricians, gathered for the same reason. We talk about 10 thousand people.
I video filmed earlier this week showed an expanse of green camp beds positioned a short distance from each other.
Tonight, Hurricane Milton made landfall, and Tampa Bay, where the city of St. Petersburg is located, is one of the locations in the eye of the storm. The good news is that it has been downgraded from category 4 to category 1. The damage, although extensive, is less than expected. Fortunately, the rescuers hosted in Tropicana Fields were transferred yesterday to a safer place, in Ocala. According to what ABC reports, citing a St. Pete Fire Rescue official, everyone is safe.
