Florida experienced a significant outbreak of tornadoes on Wednesday, with at least 27 tornadoes reported across the state as Hurricane Milton approached. The National Weather Service (NWS) is currently working to confirm all the reports, a task made challenging by the ongoing storm conditions.
On that day, more than 125 tornado warnings were issued by NWS offices in Tampa Bay, Melbourne, and Miami. This marked a record-breaking number of tornado warnings in a single day for Florida, surpassing the previous record of 69 warnings set during Hurricane Irma in 2017.
