Hurricane Milton tore across central Florida, causing wind damage and flooding in many communities. The storm made landfall in Siesta Key, on the state’s west coast, Wednesday night as a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds.

Milton was downgraded to a Category 1 storm as it moved east across the state, and by late Thursday it had moved out over the Atlantic Ocean, where it further weakened to a post-tropical depression.

Multiple tornadoes sparked by Milton also caused significant damage. 

At least 10 people died from the storm, officials confirmed to CBS News, as of Thursday afternoon.

Here’s a look at some of the storm damage, including the destroyed roof of Tropicana Field, the home stadium of the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg.

Videos shared by the city on social media show the crane collapse, Tropicana Field and other damage.

The storm also ripped up homes, knocked over signs and trees and caused flooding in parts of the state.
