The iconic Tampa Bay Times building suffered catastrophic damage as "smoke billowed out" after a crane crashed into it during Hurricane Milton. Langston Taylor, a data editor at the newspaper, revealed that staff were working through the night covering the hurricane when the massive crane fell into their office.

Writing on X, he said: "The crane that toppled onto the Tampa Bay Times office appears to have taken out most of the top five stories. This is by far the worst damage we've seen so far." St Petersburg Fire Rescue confirmed that a crane collapse and roof damage at Tropicana Field were among the critical incidents reported after Hurricane Milton hit south of the city. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
