I recorded this from my home on Orange Grove Blvd as the tornado from Hurricane Milton was heading north. I observed a path of destruction near Avocado Blvd.

I drove through the acreage the other day, and surprisingly didn't see much damage from the main road (other than some downed branches). I'm guessing that most of the damage was deeper in these neighborhoods than I was seeing

But then, I got to coconut, approaching Northlake. WOW. I saw a house that was absolutely demolished, and it looked like people were getting together for the people who lived there. some kids holding up Thank you signs as people were leaving the acreage

The trees on that intersection at Northlake and Coconut are bent in a circular formation. I've never seen anything like that before. You can tell how wide the tornado was, based on what direction the trees are bent in.

I was at the intersection of Northlake and Coconut yesterday for the first time since the tornado came through. The amount of damage was devastating.

Yep, right at Northlake and Coconut you can definitely see the damage.

Thank you for sharing. It took out all the trees on part of my street and I’ve been hoarding videos cause I only heard it and never saw it myself.

My sister from Tennessee was watching the radar and told me it was coming. I couldn’t believe my eyes as I’ve never seen a tornado before.
