In Port Salerno, FL now. One of the hardest hit areas. The last photo is from Birnie Boehland. Remarkably no one killed here. #HurricaneMilton

Learning more about the scope of the damage in Martin County. The school district shared these photos of Murray Middle School in Port Salerno. These were all side buildings on campus, so students can return to class in the main building when schools reopen here on Monday.

We stopped by the @stluciesheriff’s office to hear from @GovRonDeSantis & Sheriff Pearson. 5 deaths confirmed in Spanish Lakes Country Club neighborhood, recovery efforts still underway. Sheriff’s office took some damage as well. #HurricaneMilton

In the Original Town neighborhood in Vero Beach. An apparent tornado came through, right between 15th Ave and US1. Lots of damage. No power. No reports of injuries. Neighbors are worried this debris will become dangerous projectiles when #Milton actually arrives.

More mess in Vero Beach, FL. Some power outages around US 1. First responders already out doing what they can. I’ve also since seen an FPL drive by as rain slows down for now and water recedes from the roadway.

Gas stations starting to close down in Sebastian. Be prepared to wait a little extra at the stations that are still open. #flwx #HurricaneMilton
