Hurricane Milton's tornadoes in Florida were a leading cause of death and damage from the storm. The U.S. has seen an abnormal number of intense tornadoes linked to hurricanes this year.

Tornadoes anywhere are dangerous, but the ones that spawned inside Hurricane Milton are not quite the same as those familiar to Oklahomans.

As the outer bands of Hurricane Milton swept across Florida on Wednesday, they spawned dozens of tornadoes, even before the powerful eye of the hurricane struck land.The National Weather Service issued 126 tornado warnings across the state—the most ever for Florida in one day—and meteorologists believe several dozen tornadoes might have touched down between the I-4 corridor that runs between Tampa and Orlando and the southern tip of the peninsula in Florida Bay.
