00:00More than a week after Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton landfalled in America.
00:07This is the third fastest-growing storm in the Atlantic, according to reports.
00:12The experience of the Filipinos there due to the storm is in the hands of Bernadette Reyes.
00:20Even before Hurricane Milton hit, the wind was so strong that it swept through some parts of Florida.
00:27There was almost zero visibility due to the strong rain, but some debris scattered.
00:35The strong winds of the trees swept them away and knocked down a few posts of electricity.
00:46Some roads could not be passed due to the broken and damaged trees.
00:53Another tornado was caught in the area of Clewiston, Florida.
01:01According to the National Weather Service, there were no less than five tornadoes in Florida.
01:07Fort Myers experienced the same thing where several houses were destroyed.
01:12All this, this happened like instantaneously.
01:15Like these windows blew out, that was about probably right here when it happened.
01:20Probably one minute total.
01:26It was felt that Hurricane Milton did not cut through Sarasota.
01:30The strong winds of the windows in some houses were almost blown away.
01:35Those roads were swept away in Lee County.
01:40In St. Petersburg, the roof of a stadium was blown away due to the strong winds.
01:47A large construction crane also collapsed and knocked down a few houses.
01:55Hurricane Milton landfalled near Shasta Key, Florida as a Category 3 hurricane
02:00with a strong wind reaching almost 200 kilometers per hour.
02:04But before that, its strength reached Category 5,
02:08so it was considered a National Hurricane Center multi-hazard event.
02:12It was also called the 3rd fastest intensifying storm on record in the Atlantic Ocean.
02:18Along with the strong rainfall, the strong winds in South Tampa also swept away
02:24a few roads near Dalampasigan.
02:27In South Tampa, some of our countrymen, like Judith,
02:31who personally witnessed the sinking of Hurricane Milton.
02:34The strong winds and rain were very strong here.
02:38The other areas, especially the coastline near the sea, were really swept away.
02:45The windows of the houses were placed with shutters so that the windows could not be broken.
02:54Judith said that the strength of this storm was different.
02:58We've been here for four years. We just moved from Maryland.
03:02This is the strongest storm I've experienced.
03:06This was also experienced by another Filipina, Joanna,
03:09in her seven-year stay in Orlando, Florida.
03:12We already felt the wind.
03:14This is the first time that a monster, a really big one,
03:18alerted us from time to time with a tornado warning, evacuation.
03:25They sent a warning for evacuation of the address and where to go.
03:31As of now, no one has been affected by the storm in Wee,
03:33but residents continue to be warned of the severe dangers of a strong storm.
03:38More than a million houses and establishments have been affected by the loss of power supply.
03:44Hurricane Milton is expected to wave goodbye to the Florida Peninsula before leaving the Atlantic.
