It remains to be seen if Hurricane Milton will cause more death and destruction than Hurricane Katrina did nearly 20 years ago. Even if it doesn't, it will be forever remembered for tearing off of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida - home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Well, probably former home.
With the Rays not making the MLB post-season, Tropicana Field was to be used as a makeshift shelter for rescue personnel. Not no more.
If this is what Milton is capable with a fortified facility, I can only shudder to think what it can do to homes, neighborhood and, of course, people.
Complicating matters is how Milton struck so soon in Florida and Georgia after the ravages of Hurricane Helene which has also affected the Carolinas, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia as well as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Helene and Milton are one deadly couple. This deadliness is compounded by misinformation spread by defeated, former President Trump and his quislings.
Hurricane Milton might be able to tear off the roof of Tropicana Field, but Trump is trying to tear down the very foundation of American democracy. The former is far more easily repairable than the latter.
