As you likely know, Hurricane Milton was expected to be one of the most dangerous hurricanes to hit Florida in a while. At first, it started off as a Category 5 hurricane. As a result, millions of folks found themselves preparing for the worst-case scenario. Thankfully, that worst-case scenario was seemingly avoided, with the storm dropping down to a Category 1 sooner than expected.

That said, Hurricane Milton proved to be a formidable storm, producing quite a few powerful tornados. Now that the storm has passed, we are getting firsthand accounts of harrowing moments that took place just yesterday. This includes footage from a toll plaza camera. Located near Interstate 75 in the Florida Everglades, it managed to capture one of two tornados that crossed the highway.
@accuweather Two large tornadoes crossed Interstate 75 in the Florida Everglades on Wednesday morning, moving north between the towns of Miles City and Andytown. The tornado shown here was east of the first tornado and closer to Andytown. #tornado #florida #milton #hurricane #tornadoes #accuweather ♬ original sound – AccuWeather
According to AccuWeather, these tornados were “moving north between the towns of Miles City and Andytown,” noting that the one shown in the above video “was east of the first tornado and closer to Andytown.”
Here is another view in the video below. We’re uncertain if this is the same tornado from the video above or the second one that was nearby. Either way, this angle is the definition of mind-blowing.

As usual, this tornado footage is eerily breathtaking. The sheer magnitude of these tornados alone is enough to take anyone’s breath away. It truly is incredible what footage we’re able to share online thanks to cameras like this one — we’re even able to get views of Hurricane Milton from space.
Footage like this is also a somber reminder of the destruction Hurricane Milton left in its path. Thankfully, many incredible people are stepping up to help out those in need. Because, when we come together to help others, amazing things can happen. The InspireMore team wishes everyone well in the aftermath of this devastating storm.
