Multiple tornadoes have been reported across Florida as Hurricane Milton started lashing the state. Twisters were spotted in south Florida and crossing a key interstate as drivers were on the road. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said forecasted conditions were helping Milton produce twisters and "several tornadoes will be likely" across central and south Florida - something that will continue through the evening.

In recent days, South Florida has experienced a "one-two punch" of storms. A non-tropical low-pressure system brought heavy rain and flooding on Sunday and Monday, followed by Hurricane Milton's approach on Wednesday, which was forecast to bring more rain and windy conditions through Thursday as the storm crosses the state.
