Roof of Tropicana Field rips off
Wind gusts climbed to 97 mph in Tampa and 102 mph at the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport as Milton slammed the coast.
Milton's powerful winds even ripped part of the roof off of Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays.
No first responders were being staged at Tropicana Field and essential personnel at the stadium are all safe, a Tampa Bay Rays spokesperson said.
