The roof of Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, was ripped apart as Hurricane Milton tore into Florida on Wednesday night.

Winds reached up to 120mph as the Category 3 storm pounded the coast, producing several hurricanes around the state.

Tampa avoided a direct hit by the hurricane but Tropicana Field still suffered serious damage on Wednesday evening.

Footage, posted on social media, showed huge holes in the domed roof, with material flapping in the vicious winds.
