@teengee Looks pretty good.

Most of Tropicana Field's roof is gone. Overhead drone photos.
Good morning from the #SpaceCoast of #Florida.
We're still here. Other than the Cocoa Beach tornado, I haven't heard of any significant damage in our area. The eyewall just passed through here so we're experiencing peak gusts.
The #Trump #MAGA lies about the government controlling the #Weather reminded me of, when I worked #NASA education at #KSC, how I'd be asked "where are the NASA weather machines." People insisted NASA had weather machines on the coastline controlling the weather!
I'd tell them there's no such thing, go see for yourself, but they wouldn't believe me.
It didn't happen often, maybe five times a year, but it *did* happen.
@LnzyHou Shaken but not stirred.
I think our little hamlet is through the worst. Cocoa Beach had a significant tornado but we're through the worst of the rain, at least in the forecast.
@MLClark Um, Hurricane Milton highlights?! 😱

Brevard County Sheriffs Office (BCSO) reporting a significant tornado just hit Cocoa Beach. One of the deputies said it's "at least an EF-2." Many businesses damaged as well as homes.
If you want to look it up on Google Maps, search 1775 N. Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach. That's the Wells Fargo that lost its roof. The tornado started at the Resorts at Cocoa Beach and moved northwest. Many homes damaged on St. Croix Ave. behind the Publix.

Here's the local police and fire for Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Merritt Island, etc. They're reporting damage from a tornado in the area of SR-520/Banana River Drive.

Bring it on, #Milton. 🌀 😝
My former agency (1980s) has the first law enforcement #Tesla #Cybertruck in the nation.
Whether this is good or bad is a matter of opinion ... It won't be used on patrol, mostly for drug prevention programs. Back in my day, we converted confiscated drug dealers cars for promotions or undercover work. We once dressed up a confiscated Ferrari with agency decals and a lightbar. Everyone took pictures. 😊

St. Johns County has ordered the entire City of St. Augustine evacuated. St. Augustine is considered the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the US.
