Hurricane Milton shreds Florida stadium roof

Hurricane-force winds ripped open the roof of a baseball stadium in Florida, leaving shredded remnants of the dome in its wake Thursday morning.

In a video filmed by a local resident, the roof is seen being torn apart by Milton's powerful winds Wednesday night, as rain whips through the city's dark, largely abandoned streets.

Photos from AFP showed the once-covered Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg exposed to the elements the next day, the fiberglass roofing largely destroyed, metal rafters left naked in the morning sunlight.
