Florida man's home damaged in Hurricane Milton: 'All hell let loose'
SUMMARY: A tornado touched down around 6:30 PM, causing significant damage to homes in the area. Homeowner Gary described the terrifying moment, as he monitored news reports of tornado warnings. After the TV flickered, he and his wife rushed to the kitchen, where they witnessed the tornado descending. A loud bang followed, damaging their roof and walls with debris believed to be from a nearby Wells Fargo Bank. Gary nearly went outside to turn off a pool pump but was stopped by his wife moments before the storm hit, which they feel fortunate to have avoided. They are grateful to be safe despite the destruction.
