ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Hurricane Milton hit the Tampa-St. Petersburg with winds of more than 100 mph (160 km/h) and torrential rain Wednesday, knocking out power to more than a million people in the metro area and damaging the home of the city’s baseball team.

St. Petersburg Airport reported more than three hours of gusts exceeding 75 mph, including seven gusts over 90 mph and a peak gust of 101 mph just after 10:30 p.m. ET. Tampa International Airport has so far recorded peak winds of 93 miles per hour.

The heavy winds caused significant damage to St. Petersburg’s Tropicana field, where video showed huge cracks in the stadium’s fabric roof. The facility is home to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Tropicana Field was used as a temporary staging area for hundreds of first responders. According to local authorities, there were no reports of any injuries as a result of the damage to the stadium.

Also in St. Petersburg, a construction crane collapsed at the 400 Central building, according to FOX 13 Tampa. There are no reports of injuries there either. A witness told FOX 13 she believes it fell on the Tampa Bay Times building. The crane fell from a building that had been under construction for about two years and would be the tallest building in St. Petersburg, according to FOX 13.

Adding to the misery, St. Petersburg cut off its drinking water at midnight Thursday morning due to a major break in the water main. The closure will remain in effect until weather conditions subside enough for crews to begin repairs, city officials said.

But Tampa Bay Water asked all residents to conserve water in the metro area due to widespread power outages.

According to PowerOutage.us, power outages affected more than 1.25 million customers in Hillsborough and Pinellas County alone.

Milton roared ashore just south of the St. Petersburg area in Siesta Key on Wednesday evening as a major Category 3 storm. But while the southern landfall saved the area from a feared record storm surge in Tampa Bay, flooding became a problem anyway as Milton dumped several inches of rain within minutes.

A Flash Flood Emergency affected 2 million people in the urban area. At Albert Whitted Airport in Saint Petersburg, more than 5 centimeters of rain fell in one hour, more than 10 centimeters in 3.5 hours and 18 centimeters in 24 hours.

“This is an extremely dangerous situation,” the National Weather Service warned. “Now seek higher ground!”
