MLB Tampa Bay Rays must restore Tropicana Field within 5 months
Meteorologist: “129 mm of rain in one hour… “It doesn’t happen once in 1,000 years.”
It was counted on the 11th (local time) that at least 17 people died in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which struck the United States. Milton poured water cannons on the Tampa Bay area in Florida at a level that occurs once every 1,000 years.
According to foreign news sources such as CBS News and NBC News, U.S. government authorities estimated that at least 17 people died due to the impact of Milton, which landed in the Florida area on the 9th.
Category 3 Hurricane Milton has already left the Florida peninsula, but flooding and power outages continue to be reported. Damage to residents is increasing due to difficulties in supplying electricity, fuel, food, and drinking water.
Fuel supply was restricted at approximately 2,100 gas stations, or 26% of gas stations in Florida. Currently, the number of Americans complaining of power outages ranges from 1.7 to 1.9 million. This is a significant decrease from the 3.4 million victims reported at the time of the hurricane’s landfall.
The White House said that about 50,000 workers are dedicated to restoring power, and about 1,000 federal government personnel are still stationed on site. Due to food supply disruptions, the White House has already delivered 1.2 million meals of food to affected residents and plans to deliver an additional 1.6 million meals today.
Tropicana Field, the home stadium of the Major League Baseball (MLB) Tampa Bay Rays, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, is faced with the task of restoring the stadium for about five months until the opening of the next season.
In the Tampa Bay area, about 465 mm of rain fell in 24 hours, and at its worst, 129 mm of rain fell in one hour. “This is ridiculous,” MyRadarWeather Chief Meteorologist Matthew Capucci wrote on social media. In St. Petersburg, 129 mm of rain fell in 1 hour and 230 mm in 3 hours, and he evaluated that “rain like this does not fall once in 1,000 years.”
Tampa International Airport also resumed flights from 8 a.m. on the 11th. Orlando International Airport and Orlando Sanford International Airport resumed operations on the same day. However, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport was closed until the 16th.
Universal Studios Florida and Walt Disney World also resumed operations on the 11th.
The White House announced that U.S. President Joe Biden plans to visit Florida on the 13th to visit the Milton disaster area.
President Biden said on the 11th, “I am glad that more Americans are gathering purely voluntarily. “This is who we are,” he said. “When America runs into trouble, we jump in and try to help.” “It’s about helping your neighbors,” he said to applause.
He said, “This is an initial estimate, so it may increase or decrease, but experts estimate the damage from Hurricane Milton to be $50 billion (about 67.575 trillion won),” and “We will go to Congress.” “A lot of help will be needed,” he said.
