As if historic storm surge and hurricane-force winds weren’t enough, residents of Fort Myers had to deal with even more crazy weather from Milton as a tornado was said to have plowed a neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon.

Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key as a Category 3 storm, delivering storm surge, flooding and tornadoes to Lee County. Power outages affected over 375,000 homes and businesses.

A tornado struck Fort Myers, Florida, on Wednesday, just ahead of Hurricane Milton's expected landfall. Videos from the scene showed extensive damage in areas like Colonial and Orangewood, where several roofs were torn off buildings.

A suspected tornado ripped through parts of Fort Myers on Wednesday afternoon, leaving behind serious damage just hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall.

Dozens of homes were ripped apart by the tornado, which left a trail of destruction through several communities.

Hurricane Milton ravaged Central Florida as a Category 3 storm, then moved across the state, destroying homes, causing floods and spawning tornadoes.

Numerous tornadoes across the state were caught on camera, including a massive twister that crossed Alligator Alley on Interstate 75. Despite the high-profile nature of the storm, meteorologists won't have an exact tornado touchdown total until after the storm has passed.

The suspected tornado knocked down trees and damaged other parts of the neighborhood in Fort Myers, Florida. Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall Wednesday night on the state's west coast.
